We reported yesterday about a fatal car crash in Toronto involving two teenagers who were allegedly street racing. Early reports mentioned that a copy of "Need for Speed" was found in the front seat of a suspect's car.
As predicted, it did not take long for people to start linking the crash and the video game. For example, CTV reports point to the "deadly video game" -- see article and related video reports here . Similarly, a Vancouver Sun article headline reads "Racing video game found in accused street racer's car" -- see here.
