Russia, Yesterday afternoon a 24-year-old driver was driving a Toyota Avensis and accelerated to a speed of 160 km/ph when he ended up into the oncoming lane, where he collided head-on with a Toyota Fortuner driven by a 35-year-old man. As a result, the driver of Avensis died, six were injured.

Damn. The SUV had no chance to swerve out of the way and avoid that.

Well good thing the guy in the SUV is ok, those other 2 guys looked hurt but could of been worse. Driver hopefully is the one that died.

OK I have a theory on this.

Watch the video in the seconds leading up to the appearance of the car that caused the crash. There is a slow-ish truck being tailgated (overtaken) by a white SUV. That SUV is also right up against the middle stripe on the road. It looks to me like that SUV is the actual root cause of the accident. It tried to pass the truck, the fast moving Toyota in the opposite lane had to swerve to avoid it. Then when trying to re-establish control after swerving, it overcorrected and ended up in the opposite lane. Notice the trajectory that it crosses the lane and just trace it backward. It just seems like something happened right outside the field of view.

Watch it a few times and it just seems like that white SUV was headed for the opposite lane to pass that truck. And then boom here comes the Toyota and the ensuing carnage.

Going 160 kph on what looks like a 50 kph road in a congested area seems to me the main problem..
