YOLO: California Man Sends Tweets About Driving Drunk Shortly Before Crash Killing Five
jonathanturley
Right before five people in a car ran a red light and crashed into a wall in Ontario, California, one of the occupants sent a tweet reading: “Drunk (expletive) going 120 drifting corners.” He followed it up at 1:20 a with “Driving tweeting sipping the cup (expletive) yolo I’m turning it up.” YOLO means “You Only Live Once. A few minutes later, all five were dead in the 2005 Nissan that crashed into the backyard of a house. The tweet was sent by @ink2flashyy belonging to Ervin McKinness, 21 (shown left).
With him in the car were Marquell Bogan (shown below left), 23, and Dylan George, 20 (shown below right), Jonathan Watson, 21, of San Bernardino, and JaJuan Bennett, 23. Watson was driving (shown right).
Bogan was the only one who did not die at the scene. He died at the hospital about thirty minutes later.
It is only fortunate that no one else was hurt from this reckless act. The car actually came to rest near the bedroom of the house.
