[bodytext] => Not much surprises me anymore, just when you think you have seen it all, on the outskirts of town, on a well maintained road, the newer car, black as night, in the middle of the day is going home.
Across the road they think, maybe a deer. Or was he lighting a cigarette, talking on the phone, drop something in his car. The right front wheel caught the shoulder, he did not catch his act in time.
Off the road, he tries to correct this, the car sails up the embankment and twists in the air. On its top a deafening roar and the jet black car pitches to its wheels. It grabs the shoulder moans the torment as it turns again, ejecting the pilot through a post and a barbed wire fence. the sun sets, a life is taken, the only tree on a mile road is where the car and driver have come to rest.....Crow

Tragic...I know this is a real event you have seen my friend. So needless to lose ones life this way. Well done doesnt seem appropriate, so I will say you expressed the picture and the horror of it all perfectly.
