Rishi Sodhi lost control of his red 1995 M3 in the rain, spun into an oncoming car, and got tboned. His gas tank ruptured and started a fire which engulfed the car, he could not get out because the doors were jammed shut from the frame damage..

horrible way to die

RIP Rishi Sodhi...

Sad

But that's the risk you take when you race in city

Apparently the police are trying to pin it on street racing because his friend in a scion tc was traveling with him at the time.. the M3 was behind the tc, and while they were most likely speeding all of his friends are saying that he was not racing at the time.

**xsperf** · 01-26-2006, 10:52 PM

wait, WHO hit him? i know someone hit him in near the gas tank and the car caught fire.. but the scion was in front of him, right? and if the scion was infront of him they obviously werent racnig(i know it sounds horrible, but im dead serious)

**Hoppy** · 01-26-2006, 10:55 PM

looks to be the silver car oncoming traffic. probibly cliped the back end as the kid probibly intersected trafic. ( him going at a 90 degree to oncoming traffic)

**catalyst** · 01-26-2006, 11:02 PM

Looks like he spun the rear end into the oncomming traffic..

That sucks hard.

Thats terrible. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Probably the wrong time to say it, but new drivers shouldn't own M3s

Interesting nobody has mentioned the innocent people in the silver car, hopefully their injuries are only minor.
