Probably a late reaction to the hideous colour and died from a heart attack before smashing into the bimmer.

But seriously, It looks like he was on the wrong side of the road and has hit the bimmer head on.

I find it really ugly that you guys can find humour (or think you can) in this event tragic event.

Does the fact that it was in a Toyota make it funny? I think not.

I would like to see the moderator close and delete this thread. Such comments and attitude don't bring a lot of credit to this forum or its members

SOMEONE took this personally enough to start labelling others as ''sad''.

he's respected. he's done his time at the 'ring. they're still investigating why he swerved into oncoming traffic. everything else is speculation, at this point.

so i alluded to toyota's accelerator pedal problems. oh noes! <<< this launches part two, where my maturity levels are speculated upon

edit: i DO apologize if i offended by addressing this article with ''humor''. it's tragic, just like every single death is tragic. it was nothing more than a bit of silly late night banter...
