actually, I will take exception to that. It's not speed that kills (although had he hit the barricade at 20mph he'd have been far better off), but the lack of good judgement and driving skills. I see this kind of stuff every day on I-84, someone weaving in and out of traffic at 20+ the majority speed of the traffic, cutting very close to other vehicles. It won't be that the idiot is going fast that kills him, or someone else, but that he thinks he's a better driver than he really is, or is just a complete and utter thoughtless moron who thinks he is much more important than everyone else, and so doesn't even give a 2nd thought to how stupidly he's driving (or she, sorry ladies!). I've seen enough people who shouldn't even be driving at 5mph on country roads, let alone at 65-80 on an overcrowded interstate. That's what kills, not the speed itself.
