Thought you guys might want to know about this if you haven't seen it already. It was in Yahoo news yesterday and I don't know how long ago this happened but the guy was working as one of the lead developers on Company of Heroes Online.

You know this is a tragic story, and the part about the other driver taking off her sweater (hence causing the collision) really :furious me off. However, as much as I hate to be a naysayer here, is there any chance the guy was just reacting to a massive SUV coming straight at him by braking and trying to veer right, and out of the way? Seems like it would be the natural reaction for most anyone. I guess it doesn't make it as powerful a story, but I'm guessing it was more gut instinct than anything else. Of course I can't know for sure, since I wasn't there.
Either way, it's a sad case. :frown:
