I'd be curious to see if he made it as well. I saw the crash the day it happened. A GF of mine where I work sent me the vid because she knows I have a trans am just like it. I couldn't believe seeing it. It was unreal!

And I was thinking suicide as well. The fact that you never see brake lights come on is a little weird to me, and having no regard for a cruiser up ahead either. I can spot those things from a mile away.

Hitting the dirt at 100, he might have been bouncing around in his seat too much to find the brake pedal.

You think so? I kinda doubt it, if the car was bouncing around THAT bad I doubt he even was in his seat lol.
