    There are no details here, but I’m going to bet the guy probably had a medical issue which killed him and caused him to crash. That seems more likely than the alternatives given what is and isn’t in the article.

      “There’s no information yet so I’m going to make up an explanation which is the most likely scenario given that there’s no information yet.”

      Brilliant.

        I’m going to bet the guy manifested a car with his mental powers in an already-crashed state and then mind-wiped the guards and any witnesses into believing they saw it crash after altering the CCTV footage with his will.

      I wonder what the odds are? I think would be interesting given all the stochastic terrorism that’s been bandied about.

        Yeah, I wouldn’t bet the farm or anything. I had to dig up details elsewhere. I read that it was at a high rate of speed and at 10:30 PM. The traffic in DC during the day (what I was picturing) makes lethal speeds unlikely, but at that time on a weekend maybe it’s just drunk or otherwise reckless driving.

        At any rate, no use jumping to stochastic terrorism without any details to support that. Still might be but I feel like we’d have heard something by now. I really hate the 24 hour news cycle that encourages this kind of zero information story just in case details come out later and this traffic incident somehow becomes important.

      I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

      What else do people expect you to comment? Like…

      Neat.

      Or…

      Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

      ?

      What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details… seems fair to me.

        Yeah, and it doesn’t help when the OP is using their own secret rulebook for everything, I guess. I’m not sure what the point of having a discussion section is for if they don’t like people discussing a post.

    It was Havana syndrome, shot by a Jewish sound laser from space to make the guy crash in an attempted suicide bombing because USA is not helping Israel enough.

    I am 100% serious and I have receipts.

    Also the Jewish sound space laser is alien technology.
