How fast were they going? Isnt that st in Old Port? Must have been quite the impact.
Just out beyond the congested area of the Old Port, after going out by the Casco Bay Bridge the road becomes West Commercial St……it appears they may have been exceeding the speed limit for the area….
I’d bet money its a riced-out Civic
