That's sad. The rain this weekend, I'm sure, has been the cause of accidents everywhere in the area.

John - Please think before you type. Perhaps some of his family members may read this. You do not know what happened, you were not in that car. I am all for free speech but please save it for a space other than what is serving as his obituary right now.

@John ... Were you there? Did you witness it? Do you know the facts? If not, just offer condolences to a family who has just suffered a profound loss. My thoughts and prayers to the family for their tragic loss.

This is a very sad and unfortunate event. My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of need.

As to the inconsiderate person, How is this like "taxes" or "the market"? Leave that out of this unfortunate and sad happenstance. There is no reason to bring those types of politics into this.

@John & Frank. Were either of you in the car or at least a witness to the accident. Oh, you weren't. So how can you tell from a short article what really caused the accident? It could have been caused by a blown tire or god knows what.
A family is in mourning; I know what a hellish situation that is like all too well. Respect the family and give them your kind and sincere condolences. Let the investigators determine what caused the accident. They know all the facts - which is much more than either of you or even I know

My prayers go out to the Koloski family and friends in this time of mourning.

Wow John your an A#? cut and dry!!! Dave was the safest guy I knew. I worked with him for 10 yrs and that mustang was his world next to his family and dog. I would almost garrentee that he was pissed the car was getting wet and wanted to dry it off so the paint didn't get stained. He would park it next to the building at work so no one could park next to it so to assume he was speeding is totally out of line. My heart goes out to his family. He was a great guy. God bless you buddie!! God speed!!

I would like to clear the air. Dave was a co worker and friend of mine for close to ten years. I was 20 years old and new to the business. He took the time to look after me and help me grow in my industry and gave me much advice. His 2006 mustang gt was his pride and joy he took great care of it and was a safe.. Law abiding driver. The only time he raced that car was at atco raceway a few times a year. Something happened that we may never understand. What I do know is his wife and 2 daughters will never get to hold him or see him again. Why do u feel the need to blame someone? I'm so sad and sorry for his family and I will truly miss Dave and work will just never be the same.

I only worked with Dave a handful of times but I could tell that he was a good man. It's nice to see that everyone else who knew him feels the same way. My condolences go out to his wife and daughters, family and anyone who knew or worked with him. RIP Dave, you will be missed.

Its a terrible tradgety, I never met Dave, but I am sure he was a proud father and husband that will be missed. I drive past his house on Branch pike daily, I had the unfortunate timing of driving past the sceene shortly after the accident. I did see the car first hand and there is no way it was only 30/35 mph crash. I believe he was probably speeding. Now with that I do not mean he was tearing off down the road at 90 and racing. Its very easy to hit 45/50 on Branch Pike just crusing down the road. I drive Branch Pike every day and routinely catch myself going well over the posted 35 mph limit. Its sooooo very easy to do. Combine that with a slick road and I could see how easy it is to accidentaly loose control of a car. The truely sad thing here is that it was just dumb luck to hit that pole in the dirve side door. A couple feet in either direction and I have no doubt he would have walked away with only a broken heart over his beloved Mustang. The drivers door is the worst possible place to get hit, it offers the least amount of protection. Side airbags help but I dont believe the 06 Mustag had side bags. Very sad I am truely sorry to hear he did not survive. Its not fair, he sounds like a great guy who will be dearly missed. My condolences to the family.

BTW, @John I read your original post before it was removed... you are a true retard...

You are correct about 06 Mustangs not having side air bags. 07 was the first year for side bags..

So very sad to hear this news. I think we all need to pray for his family and know when a person has a good heart they are already at peace but that their loved ones need to have extra kindness and love around them.
