Just be careful what you believe and what assumptions you make.
Let's just say this guy is very close to the replica industry, was not drunk and it was not entirely his fault. From what I hear, he hit some unexpected water on the road, got turned sideways and was T-boned by the pickup. There turned out to be no alcohol involved, but the news stories make great leaps and insert works like "may" to cover their a**e*.
Unexpected water in Las Vegas is ALWAYS slick. I do not think this guy was from Las Vegas from what I hear and may not have known that. It rains so infequently here that much more
oil/grease is on the road here and it gets so hot here that more rubber is left on the road as well. Those two things make any wet areas super slick and cause great havok in light rain.
