We may never know the real cause but I am assuming that the investigators can take a look at the EDR(Event Data Recorder) to see if the brakes were applied or maybe he feel asleep, worse yet texting.....

No one knows yet.. maybe if we got better pics of the Z we would be able to tell.

Man that's tough.

Since I live within the region of the accident and I do run into one young guy with a Z regularly, I Googled as much as I could find about the accident. Fortunately, it doesn't look like it was the guy I bump into.

I have no idea what happened, but lol @ some of the conclusions itt. Not wearing a seat belt these days is inexcusable, but this is hardly a residential neighborhood as was stated previously itt. I wouldn't even want to speculate with no more information than we have itt.

Reminds me of this

One of my worst nights was years ago before seat-belt laws became universal in the US. My then-girlfriend and I witnessed an oncoming car suddenly lose control and roll. We stopped to find a very hysterical teen screaming about her boyfriend. We stumbled around in the dark searching for him for several minutes as a couple of other passing cars stopped and the occupants joined the search. I looked over to see my gf standing frozen, unable to speak, and staring at the crumpled bf at her feet.

It turned out the girl had just gotten the car (I think a Mustang convertible) a day or two earlier for her birthday and was letting her bf drive it.
