Why the Car Left the Road
Car hits pole, occupant....
Forty-five minutes after midnight on a Sunday morning.
The crash occurred when the vehicle left the roadway and struck a pole.
Did it have a history of straying? Incidents of erratic behavior?
Police are trying to determine why the car left the highway.
Was it tired? Sad and depressed? A thrill-seeking model?
The single car crashed going 80 in the southbound lanes.
Perhaps it wanted company. Or, needed to be heading northbound.
The driver died at the hospital.
Might it have felt a premonitory existential dread?
He was described as a man.
Did it want recognition no accumulated mileage could give?
No name was released.
