i am guessing he/she was in a hurry to get to work, it happened at 8:23am, and its sad to see people still drive through the booths even though a car has just blown up infront of them

No time for toll booths, I've got a flight to catch! A flight through a window that is.

Dayum! At least they didn't suffer.

ehhhwik · 05-25-2007, 07:16 PM

i wonder how fast the car was traveling on impact

DrewKo · 05-25-2007, 07:18 PM

Well, unless you had access to a fire truck, fire hose and hydrant, what would anyone be able to do to help? That guy obviously would have been dead on impact.

Maybe it was best no one waited around to clog traffic and cause another accident.

The State Trooper seemed to get there quickly.

Potty_Pants · 05-25-2007, 07:41 PM

it happened near my house (around 8 miles away).

supposidly the trooper was watching cars on the side of the road... not chasin this guy.... least that what was said.

I saw on another thread that the guy had a seizure.Sounds right to me, he didnt even try to fit through or brake.Sad.

Str8EJ · 05-26-2007, 11:33 AM

careless driving, excess speeds...

...they can take a toll.

if he had a seizure, how can he be driving so straight leading up to the crash?

And how would anyone know he had a seizure?

Most cars drive fairly straight if you don't apply force to the steering wheel.

A couple of years ago I was approaching the toll booths on I 95 near the Susquhanna bridge in MD. Wedged into one of the toll lanes was a Mustang. On top of the mustang was a Jag sedan on its side.

I still can't figure out how that happened.

i've worked as a professional lifeguard before and ive seen plenty of people having seisures, and they shake their hands, legs, head, and body like crazy and throw up some white bubbles from their mouth in an uncontroled manner, if that doesnt move the steering wheel, i dont know what does, unless his hands was off the steering wheel, but i guess no one can really find that out anyways
