"...1991 Mercedes-Benz brakes stop working at 120 mph..."

So the next thing the driver thinks to do is make telephone calls about his situation? Seriously?
Slide the selector from DRIVE and into NEUTRAL.
If it is a manual transmission model...it is even easier to halt.

My first thought as well - he rides the brakes so long that they fail, and so he grabs his phone ...

Must be MB’s fault.

And Arab drivers wonder why we don’t trust them on our freeways.
