A horrific crash on I-90 this afternoon leaves one dead and one sent to the hospital with chest pains. Witnesses say that a car driving west on I-90 was traveling at a high rate of speed going in and out of traffic.

“We saw him go off the side of the road once, then he turned into one of these medians at about 60 miles an hour then he turned real quick and got out. We could smell his tires burning and then he pulled off the side of the road and he was trying to go in between people and around people and then we lost him until 2 or 3 minutes later when we saw this.” Unidentified witness

“The guy crossed the medium about a mile and a half down the road, he was driving westbound then in the eastbound lane doing about a hundred miles an hour when he hit the truck. As soon as they collided we seen the truck… the car just squished. The truck pushed it right through and as soon as it hit the median it burst into flames. I was on the other side but saw a bunch of people run to the truck and open his door then they pulled him out.” Witness Mark Williams

I wonder why this person was driving 100 mph on the wrong side of the highway? Suicidal? Crack? Meth?
