Drunk, Unlicensed Driver Who Killed Teenager Posts Pictures of His Totaled Car Online With a Smiley Face

Most of the time, car accidents are just accidents with no malicious intent — and while that may not be of much comfort to the family of a loved one who was killed in a car accident, at least they can rest assured that the other person is truly sorry and not, say, posting pictures of the car they smashed into with smiley faces attached to them. That's what the family of one teenaged boy is having to grapple with, as Michael Vanwagner killed their son in a car accident and laughed about it on social media.

An unlicensed drunk driver who killed a 16-year-old boy in a horror crash last week posted a picture of his totaled vehicle with a smiley face on Facebook, just days after the tragic accident.

Michael J. Vanwagner, 24, of Coon Rapids, caused not one but two crashes on July 22 along Hwy. 252 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, according to the State Patrol.

After fleeing the first, the 24-year-old ran into Jason McCarthy's car moments later, authorities said. The teen was rushed to North Memorial Medical Center where he clung to life for days before dying on Tuesday.

On the Saturday before McCarthy died, Vanwagner posted the insensitive photo of his car on his Facebook page with the caption 'That's her front end after I got done with her lol.'

Under a second photo, he commented: 'I'm all good slept a day in the hospital then came home and did yard work lol.'

On Wednesday, he acknowledged posting the picture but said he didn't even know he hit somebody.

'I just thought I hit something,' he told the Star Tribune.

He caused not one, but two car accidents and wants to claim that he didn't even realize he had done it? Yeah, nice try, buddy. Meanwhile, the little ray of sunshine also has previous convictions for making terrorist threats, was driving on a revoked license, and was also drunk. Sounds like this loser needs to be locked up, and we need to lose the key.

Wedding Photographer Loses Over 2000 Photos After Car Was ...

Posted: 30 Jul 2014 01:33 AM PDT

Screenshot of one of the bride's Facebook pages asking for help locating the photos.

A Vancouver based wedding photographer, name removed – see update below, suffered a devastating blow this week. While photographing a wedding the photographer's car was broken into and the thief made off with her bag which contained her laptop, the sole keeper of a heap of wedding photos. Of course the laptop is replaceable, but the 2,000 bridal photographs housed on it are not.

This is where the story really starts getting painful. The lost photographs were taken over the course of the previous two weeks at a couple different weddings she shot. Unfortunately, she had not had the opportunity to back up the images yet resulting in a total loss of two weddings worth of photographs.

The photographer told her local news outlet, Burnaby Now, that she had made a trip back to her car around 7:30 that evening to grab an extra lens and that everything was fine. When she returned to her car after the event was over, around 10:30PM, she was horrified to discover her car window had been smashed in and her bag and laptop had been stolen.

She is mostly sad for the couples that have had their once in a lifetime moments taken from them; however, after making a report with local law enforcement, she remains hopeful her computer will be recovered. The photographer is even offering a $500 reward for their safe return.

One of the couples, Caitlin Henderson and Jim Beland, say they are incredibly saddened by the loss of their wedding photos, but are not going to pursue a legal action against her. The newly wed couple have made a poster and have been sharing their story via Facebook hoping for the safe return of their memories.

Hopefully, this story will have a happy ending, but the photographer unfortunate tale should serve as motivation to us all, inspiring us to back up our photographs immediately, especially work done for clients and images that are deemed as 'priceless' as wedding photographs are. It also serves as a reminder to be careful what we keep in our vehicles while out shooting on location–these types of things can happen to any of us if we are not careful!

How would you handle this?

UPDATE: we removed the photographer's name. It seems stressful enough of a situation to deal with without having bad SEO juice to worry about.
