Oh, I don't know... Patrick Swayze?
No! I got it - Ryan Dunn.
He chose to become completely inebriated.
He then chose to drive. Excessively fast. Well beyond the suggested limit. With a passenger in the car.
He, most probably, did NOT choose to plough into a tree then burst into flames. With said passenger. (Pure speculation on my behalf...)
What kinda asshat does that?
He could've quite easily taken out a happy, or unhappy, family on their way to their annual vacation destination.
Funnily enough, this outcome is actually the best case scenario...
A guy with a history of drink driving takes himself out and spares (m)any innocent victims.
