    Dem no curve roads have some value

    'I am going to die': Video shows North Dakota teen crashing runaway car at 113 mph.

    When a North Dakota teen lost control of his accelerating vehicle, police ordered him to crash on purpose to save his life.

    Samuel Dutcher, 18, was driving into Minnesota from North Dakota on the night of Sept. 17 when his vehicle would not stop accelerating, the Minnesota State Patrol confirmed to USA TODAY Wednesday. He called 911 and officials worked to find a way to stop the car without the West Fargo resident or anyone else getting hurt.

    The text made little sense on multiple points. I don't believe the author had a clue. I think the cop got in front and then slowed down, once the kid hit him he continued to brake.

    A Honda Pilot is not a small vehicle (spec = 4,255 lbs to 4608 lbs) and could do major damage to whatever it hits. It's amazing the people involved remained alive.
