It was no accident. Someone was at fault, probably the traffic engineer

Fucking perfect headline.
They must not have banks in wherever he's from.
They probably don't trust them very well.
When ya gotta go, you're going one way or another
It's like rain on your wedding day
It rained on my wedding day and we saw nothing ironic about it.
Maybe metallurgy just isn't your thing.
No, it's just that it was closer to mercury, what with it being liquid and all.
Now if it was raining anvils and girders on my wedding day...
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take.
Well I'll just end up walking in the cold November rain.
isn't driving more dangerous than smoking these days? Traffic fatalities in the US are really high.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that smoking (including exposure to secondhand smoke) is linked to around 480,000 deaths per year in the United States.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), roughly 40,000 people die in motor‐vehicle crashes in the US each year.
Smoking accounts for roughly 12 times more deaths annually than motor vehicle accidents in the US
There's probably a few cancer cases attributed entirely to smoking that vehicle emissions might've also helped hasten.
While these numbers don't take into account the amount of people doing either task, I imagine the placements won't change much
The way that money looks suggests this guy wasn't in the US of A
Vehicular death in the US is startling. ~45,000 deaths a year, same a gun deaths. And with half the gun deaths being suicides and most of the rest gang related and other villainy, that makes the randomness of dying in traffic even scarier.
