Two Killed After High-Speed CollisionThis is a 3 lane freeway, with a physical barrier between north and south lanes. So obviously, the car didn't wander into incoming traffic. The fucking moron had to actually go 'up' the off-ramp, then drive the wrong way down the freeway.
Driver Traveling Wrong Way On The Beltway
LAS VEGAS -- Two people are dead after a wrong-way driver slammed head-on into an oncoming car on the Las Vegas Beltway.
Officials from the Highway Patrol said a trooper saw the Nissan speed past at more than 80 mph on the wrong side of the road -- but lost sight of the vehicle while he was turning around.
Moments later, the car slammed into a Lincoln near Decatur Boulevard.
A woman driving the Nissan and a man driving the Lincoln were killed.
Turns out, the person the stupid bitch slammed into was a high school teacher who had only moved here a few months ago.
It seems like there's one of these idiots every six months or so. Someone driving the wrong way on a one way highway. And it seems they're always driving like a bat out of hell too. And though you would think that it would turn out to be an obvious DUI, it seems that isn't usually the case. Usually, they find no chemicals or booze on or in the person.
I just don't understand it. You see a bunch of cars coming toward you, wouldn't you think there was something up? I guess we'll never know. We can't ask them. They dumb fucks always seem to end up dead.
On the other hand, we have dumbassery like this:
Nevada trooper sentenced in freeway crash that killed fourWhat a fucking dickhead.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A former Nevada state trooper was sentenced Tuesday to two to 12 years in state prison for an on-duty crash that killed four people and badly injured a pregnant teen.
Joshua Corcran, 28, who pleaded guilty in June to five counts of felony reckless driving, apologized to the sole surviving victim and her family moments before he was handcuffed and taken into custody.
His wife, Jennifer, sobbed loudly.
"From the bottom of my heart, I'm truly sorry your family members were taken from you," Corcran said, choking back tears. "I'm even more sorry that I was the cause of that."
[...]
Authorities said Corcran was speeding home for dinner at 113 mph and not on an emergency call when his Nevada Highway Patrol cruiser slammed into the back of a slow-moving Cadillac on Interstate 15 just south of Las Vegas.

But wait! There's more:
Police officer exceeded 100 mph in fatal SR 347 crash"Protect and Serve". Yup.
On the morning of Aug. 11, 2007, at about 7:17 a.m. Phoenix Police Officer Jonathan L. Stuart, 24, was driving his Pontiac sedan southbound on SR 347, when he lost control of the vehicle. His vehicle crossed the median, near milepost 178, and landed on top of a Jeep SUV going northbound. Mark J. Ream, 51, drove the Jeep. Stuart and Ream were both Maricopa residents.
Both men perished in the collision.
In a report recently released by the Gila River Police Department, it is estimated Stuart was driving in excess of 100 miles per hour. Witness accounts had indicated speeds from 90-100 mph, but calculations from evidence at the scene indicate a speed at collision of 110.74 mph.
The report also states that an officer had stopped Stuart the previous week for speeding.
Officer Stuart, who joined the PPD in November 2003, worked at the Squaw Peak station near 24th Street and Lincoln Drive in northwest Phoenix.

I love cops and their unswerving dedication.
Well, it isn't just out there. Here in North Georgia, a deputy found out his wife was having an affair, so he and another deputy drove by the "lovers" house and riddled it with gunfire. Then the Sheriff of the county covered for the shooters. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation put it together. One Deputy killed himself, and the Sheriff and the other Deputy are prison bound.
Some years back, the Sheriff of my own county went to jail. If you pissed him off, he sent a deputy out to your house at night with a stolen chain saw, something of that nature,put it in your barn or garage, and then the next morning, "acting on a tip", he busted you for possession of stolen property. Over a space of four years he sent 39 people to prison for that, until one of his deputies figured he might be the next one on the list and squeeled on the Sheriff.
And those are the good guys.
Nice.
...as far as the wrong-way driver. It has been determined that, in some of these cases, they turn out to be suicides. Bad enough, but to take an innocent stranger with you??
Good possibility. But you're right. Too bad they take an innocent with them.
