Slamming the breaks in front on someone whom you're racing with/against is very fawked up! Sounds like the driver that flew the scene was to blame for what happened; but so is the dead man for racing against another car... damn stupidness!
I like to drive fast - a LITTLE bit over the speed limit; but mostly when the highway is wide open, i.e: late at night or when there is no traffic!

Not everything I post or say on foro are necesarily true facts. <- THAT is a fact! :blankstare:
Road rage is believed responsible for an accident on Hwy. 401 in Milton early today that claimed the life of a local man.
Ontario Provincial Police say a black Yukon SUV and what they believe to be a burgundy Pontiac Grand Am or Grand Prix were jockeying on northbound James Snow Parkway shortly after 5 a.m. when the two vehicles entered the eastbound lanes of Hwy. 401.
"The vehicles sped east until the car pulled in front of the SUV and slammed on its brakes," said Staff Sgt. Scott Lawson.
The SUV swerved to avoid the car, struck the centre guardrail and careered down the highway, rolling over at least once before it came to a stop 300 metres away.
The driver, a man in his 50s believed to be from the Milton area, was ejected and crushed as the SUV rolled. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Pontiac fled the accident scene. Police are now trying to locate the vehicle and identify its driver.
The accident caused chaos during the morning rush hour as police closed all eastbound lanes of Hwy. 401 from James Snow Parkway to Trafalgar Rd.
Lawson said there was "some interaction" between the two vehicles, but that investigators hope witnesses will come forward to give them a more complete picture of what happened.
The SUV has been removed from the scene and the highway was reopened about 10:30 a.m.
