The vehicle is believed to have reached speeds of more than 100 mph (160 kph) when it blew through a stop sign...

As with any traffic stop, never a good idea to blow.

Wow. That front end was designed to protect to a certain amount of force - but was based on the truck’s original weight. Obviously doesn’t hold up as well when you triple(?) the weight. I wonder if the limo company that built it did additional strengthening to the front end or anything. I would think they could be held liable?

Heck - even just building the limo and leaving the old brake system on would seem cause for a lawsuit.

Another exerpt:

Prestige was owned at the time of the crash by Hussain’s father, Shahed Hussain, a former paid FBI informant known for his role in a series of controversial domestic terrorism investigations before he returned to his native Pakistan. He has not been charged.
