Don’t drive like a dumb-ass. It’s one of the easiest ways to die, but it’s not always that quick.
According to what the FHP has reported, the Mercedes Benz C63 was traveling at 150/160 mph and was driving on the shoulder of the Florida Turnpike just south of Boynton Beach. The MB entered the inside lane and then the center lane where it slammed into the trailer which was in the center lane. The trailer moved to the shoulder with the MB pinned under it. In the video at the link, you can see pieces of the car at the impact point in the center lane and then the drag marks and the rear tandem of the trailer which has been moved to the shoulder by a road maintenance vehicle. Then you can follow the drag marks off into the shoulder lane.
Of course the driver was pronounced dead at the scene and the truck driver was carried to the hospital for treatment, probably mental trauma.
I'm not real familiar with MB, but I think that the MB C63 is the most powerful car produced in the MB line.
I have always loved speed. When I was younger, and still a little bit today, I always get there a little faster than everybody else. But there is a major difference between driving fast and driving too fast for the situation or driving faster than your driving skills can compensate for.
