It certainly seems to be the case in his tragic accident,

When one views the damage to the car it would certainly seem to indicate a high speed impact, also there appears to be no tyre tracks that show any kind of braking action when one views the image.

I would presume that death was probably instantaneous, which was perhaps a blessing for the driver.

Perhaps they were refering to the driver-side seat cushion.

Break away electric/telephone poles would help. Of course so would proper certification/licensing

of drivers. RIP young lady.

Just a thought , would the outcome be different if it were a European car ,say a Merc or Volvo instead of Nissan ?
