WTF ?
Deliberately side-swiped ?
Driver had a heart-attack, stroke, narcoleptic fit ?
How did this happen ?

This kind of report is an extension of what Debord calls the 'Society of the Spectacle' quickly copied from and copying mainstream news sources. Is that what CJ is to become?
Were one to give fair ethernet play to all such horrible accidents, the pages of NP would be miles long daily.
CJ is threatened to devolve into CJCNN an FOXCJ if such stories proliferate. CJ IMHO is investigative, a look behind the news as well as the news.
Look behind the mainstream news.
