That is sad.
On a related note touched on by the article (and I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here) there are too many newbie classic car owners who are unfamiliar with the difference between the handling etc of their classic versus a modern car. Case in point: WAY too many 1920s and 30s car owners are unfamiliar with the concept of brake fade.
In this case it sounds like the volvo driver was clearly at fault, but I've seen my share of incidents involving the behemoths of yesteryear trying to corner and brake with their tons of weight and drum brakes. Not pretty!
