Nicole Catsouras, 18, of Ladera Ranch, California, took her dad's Porsche 911 and crashed into a toll booth at well over 100 mph on Oct. 31.
Photographs of the crash, including close-ups of her shattered body, have circulated on the net. Now her parents, who have three younger daughters, have mounted an effort to compel websites to remove the photos. Many, but not all, have complied.
From the Orange County Register:
- The images have turned up on hundreds of Web sites and in countless chat rooms and e-mails – from Australia to Italy. The photos often are accompanied by debates about the merits of the images, with many viewers even vilifying the dead teen.
Hat tip to reader Vibiana, who sent a link not suitable for the blog, but you can navigate to the photos at Snopes.com. Please don't stick a link in a comment, I don't want to have to delete your comment or the entire post. Thanks, Greg Reeves.
