Default Fatal SRT Crash

The 30-year old owner of a Greenville SC Dodge dealership, Tanner Odum, was killed when his 2009 supercharged Dodge Challenger SRT hit two utility poles. Police found his Challenger upside down on McDaniel Avenue at about 2 AM on September 1, 2008.

Ironically, his father was also killed 5 years' ago testing a Harley.

From this tragedy, we must all learn to respect these cars and drive safe.

That is a total bummer, I feel for his family. Interesting they say a Supercharged SRT though. I guess that animal had more power than that person could handle. I hate to see people get wiped out trying to roughhouse a car like that as at times it ends up this way.

There is basically roll cage built right in if you really get into how the car is built.
Air bags in front rear and side. That is one reason this car weighs so much.
