If you go down a ditch hard enough the front of the car will hit the bottom of it. Even in your picture, it’s easy to imagine leaving the road and a good enough angle and with enough speed that after going over that first berm, you’ll hit the second one with your front bumper.
10 years ago in Wisconsin we had a mass shooting at a Sikh Temple. I got detoured around that, but for some reason, until you posted that, it never occurred to me that the scene was still active when I drove past it and I was within a few hundred feet of all those victims, still waiting for the police to get inside the building. ::shudder::
I can’t find it again, but one source said he died of an overdose. He took the drugs (meth I think, sorry I read it late last night), was taken into custody and then the drugs hit his system and killed him.
I had wondered if he was carrying something akin to a cyanide capsule, and fully intended to die rather than be taken into custody. Enough meth, or other drugs, can certainly do the same thing, although maybe not as rapidly.
