Eric Lane. Very sad day.

Did they ever find out who ran him over? Sounds like a drunk then after that anothet ran him over

Very sad! Here is a link to Angelle's verified FB page a picture of the lady who killed her mom is on it. https://www.facebook.com/AngelleSampey

It looks like her license run was at night, or very close to it. I would think that would be extra challenging for a new TF driver like Angelle. Good for her.

Did they ever say why he was laying in the road?

My asumption is he was hit by some1 they fled and he landed in the road and then some1 else ran him over but actually stopped and called 911????

Angelle's Mother was killed by a woman that is known. This thread took a detour and also is discussing Eric Lane's hit and run tragedy from years ago.

Thanks, I was confused.

both of the stories being discussed here are utterly tragic. senseless and both could have been avoided.
life is so precious and can be snatched away so quickly.

Here's another that many may not remember.
Tripp Shumake was tragically killed on November 13, 1999, at the age of 51. He was struck by a hit-and-run driver traveling the wrong way while riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. On his way to Firebird. He formally drove for Johnny Looper's funny car.

Yeah that was heartbreaking. Tripp was a badass driver and a great guy. I got to know him when I lived in AZ in the mid '90s, my dad and Tripp worked at Louis Dodge back then. A lot of people don't know that in addition to all the drag cars he drove, he was also a champion Kart racer.

I didn't know Angelle's mother, but I knew Eric Lane. Both situations are tragic.

Eric was a good friend to the Zizzo team. I still have his text messages in my phone. We miss him a lot.

...sorry guys....had I known about the other part of this story I wouldn't have posted it. Not having social media puts me in the dark sometimes. Just saw the story on NHRA and shared. Condolences to the family.
