That has not happened with normal speed....

A video of this crash was on a Thai FB page yesterday. The driver was revving the modded truck, spewing out plumes of black smoke before accelerating away at high speed, and losing control... Thankfully only killing himself. Sort of tragic, but mitigated by the fact that morons are not an endangered species.

Thank you for your post, think this is the video you mention.
