It sounds unbelievable but it happens and brings up a old memory from over 42 years ago. I was married my wife expecting our first. So my party days were over... Guys i know going down the shore... Whatever happened who knows, driver looses control..He was either ejected or jumped out we'll never know...No seatbelt. The car rolled into a grassy area and stops. No damage, no injuries...They couldn't find our good friend. The troopers found him dead of a broken neck..
Probably deceleration (60mph to 0mph in a split second) blunt force trauma in a vehicle that was an after factory mod into a limousine with no requirement to provide a restraint system for occupants other than the driver and front passenger. It will also be interesting to see what the toxicology report on the driver reveals. I looked at the junction of these 2 roads on Google Maps satellite. While there are no rumble strips or other warning signs on the road leading to the STOP sign, there appears to be adequate time for the driver to react to the STOP sign if he was alert or not distracted regardless of whether he was familiar with the route or not. Or the brakes may have failed...he was hauling a very heavy load.
I remember that one.
