This reminds me of something that happened within a couple of miles of my home over thirty years ago. A young man failed to show up for work and no one saw him for three or four days. His family started looking along the roads he might have driven and the car was found in thick bushes just a few feet down from the road surface. There is a creek there which is the county line and he had come down a grade leading into a left hand curve where the road crosses the creek and there were skid marks where he had left the road in his Corvette on one side of the creek and landed in the bushes on the other side in the next county. I happened to come along as the body was being retrieved from the car.

The story I heard later was that he had been up all night at a card game and had left the game when he suddenly realized he was going to be late for work and was driving fast trying to make it to work on time.
