I posted this on the national board, but for those who don't like to sully themselves by going over there, here's a few more details about this:

(Keeping my opinion to myself, but my blood boils every time I read the article... At least they've arrested the SOB and looks like they might actually prosecute him...)

Wait a minute before we hang this guy, the report says;

Quote
"Corbett said there were no indications of alcohol or drug use. He said that, because of the fire, he does not know if the car had a mechanical problem."

It pisses me off that more riders were killed but what if this guy's car had a mechanical issue or he fell asleep after driving 18 hours.  I say hold off on the judge and jury routine until we find out what happened.
