Meet Darrell Anderson, a Long Island man who probably isn't going to be nominated for any Father of the Year awards in 2011. Early Sunday morning, Mister Anderson was arrested after police say they clocked him driving 118 mph in a drag race with a drunken friend in Ronkokoma. The Post, which has dubbed him "doofus dad," reports that his 7-month-old daughter and 3-year-old son were found in the back seat of his 2001 Honda, and that the boy was not restrained.

Last night a Jersey City man was struck by speeding vehicle, thrown from the scene of the accident, and died after being impaled on a wrought iron fence in a three-car crash that may have been the result of drag racing. Two brothers, 19-year-old Giancarlo J. Guevera-Cabezas and 24-year-old Carlos J. Guevera-Cabezas were charged with speeding and reckless driving after their Honda Civics struck another vehicle as the younger brother attempted to pass it, sending his Civic flying over the curb. The victim, who died in the hospital, has yet to be identified because he wasn't carrying identification. Another 19-year-old man was also struck and suffered leg injuries. more ›

Police believe drag racing caused a spectacular crash on Francis Lewis Boulevard that left two teens and 11-year-old boy hospitalized. Two cars, a BMW and a Lexus, were seen speeding around 11 p.m. last night when they knocked into each other, sending the BMW spinning into a parked van. Witness Peter Boudouvas tells CBS 2, "I saw one car bump the car on the left, took 2 or 3 spins, van moved 30 feet up. I jumped out, called 911 and asked nobody to move." According to ABC 7, police had to cut down a tree to get through to the wreckage. Another witness says the BMW was "doing 60 to 70 mph...Things like this happen all the time." The 18-year-old driver of the BMW and two male passengers, ages 18 and 11, were rushed to Booth Memorial Hospital in Queens. The 11-year-old is in critical condition, and the 16-year-old driver of the Lexus walked away with minor injuries. He was given a breathalyzer test (it came back negative) and is being questioned by police, but he's already in violation of the law for driving without a licensed adult in the car. more ›
