He loves himself. He only feels bad about how this situation has affected him, if that. I lost some close friends through tragedy when I was young and never ever witnessed anything so callous as how he dealt with this in the immediate aftermath - pathetic. He caused a lot of pain with this after the fact. She was loved by many, many people who were scorned by him.

I only hope he gets some help before more people have to learn the hard way.

Everyone makes mistakes - especially when young, some of them tragic. It is how you deal with them that determine what type of person you will be. This was a horrible event which was made worse with lies not only concerning the event but the girl and her family. Driving at 126 km/h minimum is a far cry from 40 on Gouin, you could have an accident on your bicycle going too fast in that area. Her family had to endure a steady campaign of bullshit for several months. The truth only needs to be told once. Lies on the other hand are like any fabrication - they fall apart eventually and constantly require more lies to keep them standing.

Hopefully the younger members here can learn something from this. When it's time to man up you do it, take what comes and try to grow as a person.

Finally, she wasn't his girlfriend.

Thanks for reading this.

I can post the link to the original gem of a thread I refer to above if needed.

I'm sure a number of people can remember a thread which was started months ago revolving around the horrible accident that killed young Angie Espeche early on December 9th 2009. If any of you remember that thread and the comments made there in I can tell you that much of what was written was particularly harmful to the family of Angie (not just on this site). The facts are now made public - please refer to the attached link as the truth is now public knowledge.
