49. 100 wrong way mph on a freeway? I came within seconds of instant death

when a car going speeding the wrong way in the fast lane of a L.A. freeway intersected the second car ahead of me, which was itself going about 70. I saw nothing of the impact but debris flying everywhere as the 2 cars exploded, bringing 5 lanes of early rush-hour traffic screeching to a 5-hour halt. It's amazing that more people weren't hurt.

It turned out this was the wrong-way driver's way of committing suicide. I've often wondered what the young man ahead of me thought in the split second he may have had to register what was happening as he rounded the curve where he died.

I never automatically trust the police (by a long shot), but no one but the guy who put so many other people's lives on the line died in this incident, so maybe they did something right.
