Couldn't have been mine - cash only goes INTO my P-car!

(sorry to make a joke - albeit a bad one - over an incident where two people died, but hopefully they're laughing somewhere...)

weird, sounds like a weird suicide that wanted to leave with a bang.

I read the driver was a dentist from Naperville named William Howe previously in trouble with the law for DUI.

So I was right, it may not have been intentional suicide, but if he was driving drunk then I'd call it unintentional suicide. Sad for all involved.

That was a VERY BAD accident. I was driving home in the eastbound lanes of that expressway and saw all the flashing lights up ahead and the westbound lanes completely shut down. There were four cars involved, but the Porsche and Toyota were demolished beyond recognition. I instinctively knew something very, very bad happened. Gives one pause...

The driver of that Porsche needs to go away, very far away.

Is it true that dentists are more prone to suicides?
