Arjun Atwal under investigation for fatal car crash
Arjun Atwal, the first PGA player from India, is reportedly under investigation for his involvement in a fatal car crash that killed John Noah Park outside of Orlando, Florida. Police apparently suspect that the two drivers might have been involved in a street race.
"Witnesses tell us they were engaged in a street race," High Patrol Trooper Kim Miller said. "They estimated speeds at or about 100 mph. Park's vehicle hit a tree and basically just shattered. Part of the axle was found in the tree. It was a very violent crash. At a minimum, he is facing a charge of engaging in a street race. We have to see if this crash rises to the level of any other charges." (More here)

It's really unfortunate that John Noah Park died at a young age doing something so dangerous and stupid like street racing. I hope that Arjun Atwal is innocent and that he is not convicted so that he goes back to playing golf tournaments and winning. It just a lesson for all celebrities who indulge in juvinal activities like street racing that speed kills.

Arjun Atwal is not innocent. Witnesses saw him driving at such a high rate of speed, he lost control of his car. The speed limit on 535 is only 55 mph.
He's bummin...although it's not like the other guy was just minding his own business and walking down the street. He was racing too.
How can a so-called "famous gold player" be setting such a bad example for his fans? Mr.Park died a horrible death due to Mr.Atwal's lack of cautious and carelessness. I feel sorry and bad for Mr.Park's family and friends. Mr.Atwal should be put to jail and never be able to play golf again for U.S because who would do something like car racing with a completely stranger, at age 48? i mean, come on! stop making a drama out to this horrific situation and tell the truth!
Wow...that last comment to this post was a doozy. So much so that I suspect it was written tongue in cheek. A few comments:
1) What's a "gold player"? Is that someone who trades precious metals on the commodities market?
2) So Mr. Park shares no responsibility for his actions? You act like he was forced to race. He, sorry to say, was an idiot.
3) Again, why is Mr. Park blameless in this? Sounds like he should have taken a few more high speed driving lessons before he went out street racing. Then again, chinese are generally terrible drivers.
pshh
first of all, Mr.Park is korean
second of all, i happen to know the guy
Mr.Park was an elder of his church
and have you ever seen an elder car race with a stranger?
by the way, how do you know if Mr.Atwal wasn't lying? So far, I heard that his explaination is changing every time he says it.
you should critize someone after you actually know what's happening
More lame posts. Illogical too. What does being a church Elder have to do with street racing? The guy was going 100 mph. So I suppose he was just on his way to the grocery, huh?
I'm not defending Atwal, simply responding to your lame assertion that it was a one sided deal and that the dude who smacked into the tree, your Korean buddy, was somehow less irresponsible because he bought the farm. So-called religious people are capable of doing asinine things as well. Just ask Ted Haggart.
I'm friends with Mr. Park's daughter.
And she says all the racing is bullshit, that her dad would never speed and that he was always a cautious, if not, too cautious, driver who never went past the speed limit
Not a speeder, huh? Guess that's why he was driving a 500 hp monster Mercedes and not a Prius.
He was doing almost 100mph.
At 40mph an accident could be fatal...
"have you ever seen an elder car race with a stranger"
I've seen elders and pastors do all kinds of stupid things. As a guy who attends church with great joy, I'd warn you to not play the church card, as if that would prove the guy's innocence. You're making Christians look bad to everyone else.
