Somebody went to a lot of trouble to make it "look" like an accident: moving vehicle leaves road, hits pole, burns up, cremates driver.
Yet, it so obviously wasn't an accident.
One wonders why they bothered. Why not a simple bullet-in-the-head execution?
The method itself raises questions concerning the motivation.

Without withnesses, the car would have had time to totally burn before the FD showed up. By then it wouldn't be clear where the fire started, how long it burned, and the accelerant would have burned off so it would extinguish normally. No-one would know it was on fire before it hit the pole. Just one more of the 50,000 people killed in a traffic accident in any given year...

Interesting.
Im inclined to think the pole wasn't part of a staging. Merely the thing that stopped the car which was slowing down anyway.
Perhaps the contraption intended to blow up the gas tank too, which might give a better cover story as an accident. But this didn't happen.
