Hill Valley, California - A car crash here has taken the life of a 17-year-old boy from Hill valley. Marty McFly was pronounced dead at Hill Valley Regional Medical Center Sunday, not long after his 1984 GMC Delorean rolled near the Twin Pines Mall. McFly, an avid skateboarder who attended high school in Hill Valley, was thrown from the vehicle during the crash, which took place shortly after 3 p.m. Police estimate that McFly was traveling in the vicinity of 88 miles per hour
McFly’s girlfriend Jennifer, also 17 of Hill Valleyfriend Biff Tannen, was unhurt in the crash and administered CPR to Leary until paramedics arrived. But a distraught Jennifer said Monday that McFly’s wounds were too great.
The cause of the one-vehicle crash remains unclear, Hill Valley Police Chief Christopher Brickell said. McFly showed no signs of alcohol or drug use, Brickell said, but added that trace amounts of plutonium and what appears to be a flux capacitor of some kind was found at the crash site. Police are also interested in questioning a Volkswagon bus carrying several Arab, possibly Libyan, men that was driving erratically in the area at the time of the incident.
Police are not sure whether McFly had his seat belt on.
Friends and loved ones left flowers and heard a eulogy given by McFly’s mentor Emmett “Doc” Brown at Hill Valley cemetery. An emotional Brown choked up as he remembered his protegee: “Marty always loved his Delorean and he loved the open road. But where he’s going, he won’t need roads.”“
A few HONORABLE MENTIONS this week go to:
Anna with “it started with a wink from across the room, led to lame pick-up line…developed into request for fresh air…then, seemingly innocuous partaking in doughnuts in teen community center parking lot….which developed into drive to lover’s lane…nuff said.”
JMur with “Yeah, that moose came out of nowhere.”
greenwheels with “The next level of eco-friendly cars includes seats that actually grow grass”
