Delivery man's arm ripped off by speeding car

A man watched in horror as emergency services tried in vain to save his brother-in-law's life after he was hit by a speeding car and left hanging through the windscreen without an arm.
Aaron Chan, 21, of Manukau, was with his brother-in-law unloading goods from their delivery van when a car ploughed into him on West Coast Rd, Glen Eden, about 6.30pm on Monday.
He was thrown on to the bonnet of the car as it ran along the footpath, over the top of a small tree and into a brick wall. When it came to rest Mr Chan was lying across the bonnet with the upper part of his body through the windscreen. His arm was severed and most bones appeared to be badly broken.
The two arrested men - a 35-year-old from New Lynn and a 28-year-old from Whangaparaoa - are to appear in the Waitakere District Court today.

The question must be asked. When will the authorities in Aotearoa NZ put a definitive stop to the behaviour that is causing this angst and horror for innocent families?
  1. No more high performance cars in our country;
  2. No more making cars high performance in our country;
  3. Huge punishment for those who cause this type of damage;
  4. Boy racing should now be illegal and incurs severe punishment.
Time to do something useful Helen!
