He was doing well in excess of 100mph, passing on the right, passing on exit ramps, driving recklessly, until he mis-judged a merging set of doubles coming down an on-ramp and drove directly into the tail trailer.

Good thing he was wearing a helmet.

His head snapped completely off his body, and they found it still inside the helmet a thousand feet further down the road.

People that do this with reckless disregard for other's lives should be charged with felony criminal endangerment.
