In 2006, Nikki Catsouras got into a little fender-bender along Highway 241 in the OC.

California Highway Patrol was on the scene to investigate and, uh, clean up.  But apparently some CHP officers emailed the uncommonly gory photos to their family and friends.  One thing led to another, and the photos went viral—a phenomenon perhaps fueled not only by the graphic nature of the images, but also the likelihood that Nikki was a spoiled SoCal brat (she was driving a $150,000 Porsche and an autopsy determined she had cocaine in her system).
Naturally, the Catsouras family was outraged.  They decided to handle things the good ol’ American way and sued the CHP for 20 million smackeroos, which the 4th District Court of Appeal in Santa Ana has allowed in a recent ruling. Whereas the media and private citizens can post pretty much whatever the fuck we want besides child pornography, the Court reasoned that CHP is bound to higher standards.
Say hi to Ghettosamii and TL for us, Nikki!

  6. Grow up. honestly, if being rich makes you people envious then you can all rot in hell being poor. This is disgusting how amused people are at this photo. Don’t act like you all don’t party and drink and do stupid shit, she just had a much more intense situation. This picture really shouldn’t be on the internet her poor family has to live with this forever and for you guys to be so pathetic is really sad. No wonder the world has become so shitty, because obviously people=shit.

  12. Who the fuck tries to cut off another car at 100 mph? And who the fuck steals their dads car over a pack of cigarettes? A dumb spoiled rotten coked out bitch, that’s who. Thankfully she only got herself killed.

  17. lawrin kill your self then? END OF THE PROBLEM.IAN VUTTION R W/E THAT COCK SUCKING QUEERS NAME WAS GAY AND WAS A DRUG ADDICT NO NEED FOR HIM ON THIS EARTH

  18. Reading the horrible things people say to these kind of incidents makes me sad to be a human being. I actually share oxygen with you imbeciles?
    It’s not even about Sticky posting this, because he’s well in his right, but the fact you people fight over why it happened and how…does it really matter? It’s like when Ian died, all over again.
    Most of you should probably take note of this…and stop thinking that being a teenager makes you invincible. I hope one day most of you will be able to grow up and realize how short life is.
    There are ways to have a good time without putting your life and the lives of others in danger.

  19. justindaniel, you’re an idiot. If you actually read the back story. the POLICE released these images which was illegal to do because they were instructed not too

  20. Dude you guys seriously, i know this site is about laughing at people, especially spoiled druggies blah blah blah but this is heartless, you have to have NO soul to find this entertaining or amusing or funny. I mean yea HAHA rich girl dies, but cmooooooon this isnt funny. And i dont really get shocked easily, this is just terrible. I cant believe theres a website with the pictures. thats terrible.

  21. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
    LOL AT SAY HI TO TL, LULLULLULLUL,
    oh shit maybe i just blew my cover

  24. Holy hell…I didn’t even notice it was a person until after I read it. Even if she was a spoiled brat nobody deserves to die getting there skull ripped apart.

  25. First off, this is way old. Secondly, how would you feel if this was someone you loved? Yes, she did something terribly stupid and irresponsible, and she could have killed an innocent person, but what about her family? They had to bury their beautiful daughter/sister, why do people have to STILL post this shit 3 1/2 yrs after she’s dead? I’ll bet you anything if she was a “loved” stickam user, like, say, Ian Vuitton, many of you would definitely have a changed view. Who are any of you to call her a spoiled brat? Let this go.

  30. I’m sure she was a bitch/brat/coke whore like every one is saying. But I do feel this one is a bit disrespectful even for SD. She’s dead, what’s the point in bashing her still. I’m really just wondering. It’s not like she’s going to see it and cry her eyes out. Why waste your time?

  33. in her pictures before this.. she kinda reminds me of liz lee. (from that mtv show)
    maybe its just the hair.

  34. AHAHAHA that bitch got fucked up only if they had video cameras for a good ole american loop for stickam.com FUCK niggers spooks and scene faggots i hope you all die

  35. @beee
    Shut the fuck up you stupid fuck.
    She was off her face on coke. She was driving 100 mph because she was off her face on coke.
    She deserved what happened to her for 1)Doing drugs and driving. 2)Driving 100 mph near a fucking toll. 3)Stealing her dad’s car. 4)Putting other people at risk because she wanted to get high and drive like a fuckwit.
    Police have said that she had coke in her system, that she was driving 100 mph and that she wasted her perfectly good vagina.

  38. Red Asphalt doesn’t even show you this shit. Scare tactic to keep kids from driving like idiots indeed. Thanks, Sticky.

  43. well…she could have killed someone,but there is no need to be so disrespectful.The girl has a family and it must be soooo sad for them to see comments like «i’d still tap that»

  46. RAGED.
    Legally, whoever took the pictures was entitled to do whatever they wanted with them, as they are the photographer’s property and were most likely taken on public land [IE – sidewalk].
    Pictures taken on private property, that’s a different story, and [if its not your property] it generally requires a model release form, but its not necessary because, once again, the pictures belong to the photographer.
    Down with the lawsuit, you fucking faaaiiils.

  47. when I have kids and they are old enough to start driving im going to show them these pics, try to use that scare factor

  50. lomao non of u even know the real story thats hilarious ur making up shit about coke cause u read it forma dumb website. go to the real sites about it. ther werent drugs. she was driving 80 trough a toll, it was over ciggerettes her parents caught her smoking, so they got intoa huge fight she snuck the carkeys and drove like an idiot.

  54. a pouty spoiled girl does a few lines of mommy’s coke then steals dad’s whip, then dies 10 minutes later after clipping a car she was trying to pass at 100 MILES PER HOUR, then slams into a toll booth. i have no pity, i’m just thankful she only killed herself in the process.

  55. anon 650 that story there is incredibly false. js i kno the real story. it was over a fight with her parents over smoking cigs she ran out and decided to be a dumb bitch and steal the car. and thats what hapened

  64. Lol. This should replace those road safety commercials. Driving like a dumb fuck gets your head smashed to bits.

  65. My friend told me about this years ago.wow. So she decided to buy some blow with her parents money and take off in her dads porche.every bad decision has consequences.
    I wonder if she was texting while driving…

  66. considering this webpage is open to anyone of any age you should have at least made it optional to see uncensored photos instead having it just open on the page. you are a disgusting fuck.

  71. Hey, wasn’t that website mentioned in law and order svu? Someone joked about it and said “It got so many hits, the site crashed harder than she did”

  74. I don’t even know what to say really…
    It really is tragic, the circumstances of her death, and in such vivid detail. “Brat” and “stupid fucking bitch” or not, I cannot imagine how hard it must have been (and how it still must be) as her parents, for them to see these, the very last pictures of their daughter, dead. Mind you, from the very day her mother gave birth to her, raising her as an innocent child, teaching her to walk and talk, to this now… what she was the day that she met her fate, what she became. A skinned carcass for the Coroner to scrape up an analyze, carrion. Her entrails at the time but a bloody skid mark and mass of brain matter on a toll booth wall and nothing more. You mean to tell me that you don’t feel something in the least for what you’re looking at?
    Don’t get me wrong, I watch beheading videos to listen to all the various ways people will gargle when they’re dying, and I enjoy this shit as much as the next sick fuck who shouldn’t, and not to mention in my line of work doing Taxidermy, I turn animals inside out for a hobby, but still, to sit there and say how hard this got your dick, or how it doesn’t make you feel anything is just terrible. Honestly. It’s really just a sad story in general.
    Just sayin’

  75. Shit. Of course I see this two weeks after I get into a bad accident. It’s a terrible thing to see and something no one should go through. But this helps remind people of the power of a car. They are a weapon, and sadly almost everyone gets one. Hopefully this will stop a few people from speeding,drinking and driving, driving while under the influence,etc.

  76. @JacksonJawbreaker:
    Nah I’ve just been in a “throw caution into the wind” type of mood lately. And don’t forget, all these posts were prompted by developments beyond my control. Ian died a year ago owing to his own drug abuse; the Maricopa County Court recently ruled on Hock’s case; and the LA Times just reported the Catsourus lawsuit today. I don’t make this stuff up or throw it out there for no reason beyond my own whims. They’re current events.

  81. Sticky, you never cease to amaze.
    Perfect example of “no holds barred in your face lawlz”
    “Say hi to Ghettosamii and TL for us, Nikki!” LMFAOO
    You sickly funny bastard lol

  87. family should sue Porche for making such an un-safe car..i dont have ANY idea how the fuck that could happen without going through a grindeer

  91. You forget Sticky himself is a spoiled brat.
    It goes both ways, I’m looking at his building right now, God, I love this penthouse.

  93. this is old news. and yeah she is a fucking brat, she told her DADS CAR and decided to be a dumb bitch with it and drive it way too fast and oh look what happened woopdedoo its life, kids. didnt she not even have her license, also?

  96. Whether she was a brat or not, or even dead or not, she needs to be respected. She has friends and family that love her. She died in a way no human should. I send respect to her friends and family. RIP Nikki.

  97. Just because some people are more fortunate then others it doesnt make them a brat. I feel bad for her. You cant just say someone deserves to die because they have more money or get more things. Obviously death means nothing to you all, have fun dieing yourselves.

  99. yea its fucked up that the family go these photos through an email one day. this girl was insanely pretty before she died. and had just graduated i think. the younger siblings like werent alodu ont eh compute rand stuff after the hotos got out. :[ so sad imo

  104. Whether she was a brat or not, how would you feel if you saw pictures of someone you knew or cared like that floating around the internet. Those pictures are disturbing and you’re so disrespectful for posting this. It’s not funny.
