this is just crazy stupid. parents should be charged with endangering a child.

A junior racer who just celebrated her seventh birthday has died following a tragic crash that took place during Orlando Speed World Dragway in Florida this past weekend.

The crash that killed Elienisse Diaz Rodriguez is described as a “vehicle accident” on a GoFundMe page that has been set up to help her family during this time. The racing prodigy passed away as a result of her injuries on the night of February 4. Her death was also confirmed on the official Facebook page for Orlando Speed World.


Rodriguez, a first-grade at Eastland Christian School in Orlando, was “making her first runs in a junior dragster” when the crash happened, according to Dragzine.com. Junior dragsters, the vehicles used in junior drag racing, can reach speeds of up to 85 miles per hour.
