[QUOTE]Originally posted by 89 FAKE SNAKE: [QB] MENLO PARK -- A reckless driver racing another vehicle at high speeds on U.S. Highway 101 in Menlo Park Wednesday night led to the deaths of three passengers -- including the nephew of Tongan King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV -- in a third vehicle. The San Mateo County Coroner identified two of the dead as Prince Tui Pele Haka and his wife Princess Kaimana, who were in the Bay Area on a humanitarian mission. Their deaths sent shock waves through the Tongan community. "I think one of the things that encouraged us to work with him was that he -- as well as Princess Kaimana -- were very down to earth even though they were royalty. They made it so easy and approachable...They loved the Tongan people. This is so awful." California Highway Patrol Officer Ricky Franklin said that at about 9 p.m. on northbound U.S. Highway 101 north of Willow Road, a 1998 white Ford Mustang, being driven by 18-year-old Edith Delgado, of Redwood City was traveling "at a reckless, high rate of speed," came up behind another vehicle, and attempted to pass it on the right. As Delgado turned to pass the vehicle, the Mustang struck the driver's side of another vehicle, a red 1998 Ford Explorer, causing its driver to lose control to the right of the highway. The Explorer then overturned "an unknown number of times before coming to rest on its roof on the right hand shoulder," Franklin said. The driver of the Explorer, a woman approximately 40 to 50 years old, and the roal couple, all of whom were wearing seatbelts, were killed in the crash. Delgado stopped at the scene of the accident and was arrested "for investigation of vehicular manslaughter, and speed contest," Franklin reported. According to Franklin, there is a possibility that a black Cadillac Escalade with "spinner type rims," which exited at Marsh Road, may have either seen or been involved with the collision. The two right lanes of the highway were closed and a Sig-alert had been issued for about two hours during the investigation, according to the CHP. The collision is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Officer Pohrman or Officer Franklin of the CHP in Redwood City at (650) 369-6261. [/QB][/QUOTE]
