Who got killed on 70 last night?

[Kurt B.]

I caught a piece of the story on the news this morning, the only reason I bring this up is because on the news report they included that there was another car involved that was possibly "racing" and that the car the man was killed in had Nitrous on board.

Anyone on here?
