I saw a similar incident on I-25 SB in downtown ABQ a few years ago. Some kid in a Hyundai was doing the speed racer thing and miscalculated a lane change, and suddenly everyone was slamming on their brakes.
The car ended up facing against traffic, and he must not have had his seat belt on, as he was in the passenger seat when the car came to rest. That certainly took the wind out of his sails.
He should have taken that “good luck” as a sign of God’s mercy...and stern warning.
Probably didn’t.
The absolute *worst* place to be on a Saturday night is anywhere near the local stock car dirt racing track on RT 40 when the races are over.
The idiot fans are “fevered” and come screaming out of the parking lot like lunatics.
At least 3 people have been killed getting t-boned by the race fans while they were just driving down 40, minding their own business.
