  • 100mph car crash shuts highway down for 6 hours

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

That's not the way Darwinism works. Stupid driver actually tried to go into the emergency lane to bypass a cop. I feel no remorse in believing that somebody that does something that stupid and dangerous deserves whatever fate that danger takes him.

And that was not 100mph. More like 120-130mph.

Yeah he's still alive (alert when they took him to the hospital, currently in critical condition) and according to the article they're unsure what the driver was doing. It's possible that something went wrong with his car and passing judgment on what was going on would be a mistake.

Depends on how it's being used. The car seems light enough to go flying into the bridge. Besides, you don't need all of your horses to go even 120mph. (Most 400+HP cars can't even go 200mph.)
