Man, doesn’t anyone here watch NCIS?
Who said the injuries were sustained from the car hitting the tree or the hydrant? Maybe he was already injured and then got in the car because the wife shot him or the girlfriend stabbed him or some other prime drama twist?
Being injured, pursued, upset, or otherwise distracted could have contributed to the crash.
No seat belts adds to the fleeing scenario.
Not buying the injured at 33mph in one of the biggest, safest SUVs ever made.
I dunno? Waiting to hear the Paul Harvey.
You’ve made a great point here. If the facts don’t add up, start looking for other explanations.
