Alcohol, drugs or falling asleep at the wheel. None of those are plausible for a 4am crash at all.
Alcohol... possible. The LOUDLABS cameraman focused on a beer bottle laying in the grassy knoll (I meant median) just prior to where the car crashed into the tree. But the bottle was probably there for hours.
Drugs... possible. Was Hastings a 'drugee' ? Was he an 'alcoholic' ? Since the body is to far gone for an autopsy, no one can prove it either way.
Falling asleep at the wheel... right. Because everyone driving at over 100 mph with the car bouncing in and out of potholes, sparks coming from the rear hitting the pavement, falls asleep at the wheel.
IIRC, the other articles that came out about this incident, you made EXACTLY the same comments. I find that interesting.
