this is like totally out of left field. what was happening in this persons life 30min prior? bombayrunner

What was happening? Really? What was happening was he was being really stupid and drinking to excess. Then he got more stupid and got behind the wheel of an automobile. I'm sorry for his friends and family but this guy died of stupidity. I'm glad no one else came to harm due to his actions.

Sounds like natural selection to me. Glad he didn't hurt anyone else.

"At that time in the morning, shouldn't the cops be all eyes for drunks, especially going over 100mph." chattycat

If cops had seen him and tried to stop him there would be 100+ comments asking why the cops made him crash.

A Volvo can go 100mph???

That is what I was thinking! I suppose since my Suburban can do it a volvo should be able to but darn...neither were made for that at all.

I live near here and for the life of me, unless he either ran red lights or all were green, can't figure how he got up that much speed unless he blew through the light at 6forks and wake forest by the costco-it's only two blocks or so to where the wreck happened. Glad no one else was injured.

Hmmm, wonder how long he had been driving that fast! At that time in the morning, shouldn't the cops be all eyes for drunks, especially going over 100mph. Very lucky that no one else was killed.
