5 minutes with Google would reveal to you just how it was put together, namely by some idiot reading a handful of other articles from the past day or two and plagiarizing the hell out of them. It's really pitiful how it was created. Hard to believe some people get paid for what they do for a living...

Dig a little deeper into the original sources and they will disappoint you, too. Many of the people quoted have no real knowledge of the subject they speak of. Anecdotes, at best.

It's sad, but it's all over this country and many others, as well.

WRONG WRONG WRONG

He was a passenger. Just like someone in an airplane that crashes making a bad decision and endangering people on the ground.

I'm fully convinced that true reporting of facts is dead, replaced by tabloid "journalism" created by idiots. But we all clicked on it, which is all they seem to care about.
Hard not to click on it if you go to CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News

So, what if that car was still riding on its original tires ?

If you want to make this tragedy all about yourself, How about we all take a look at our cars and ourselves, if only to make sure that we aren't the next.

Good brakes, good tires and shocks, combined with a modicum of common sense would keep most people out of trouble, if they have any luck at all.
