very sad indeed. The first impact at about 70MPH was my neighbors tree which ripped the car almost completely in half. The car slid another 130 feet across the street, hit the lightpole, came up my yard hitting the rock retaining wall for my flowerbed, hit the tree, exploded and bounced off towards the road. It was reported to have been a 30 foot fireball. I couldn't confirm the fireball size because my neighbors and I were too busy assisting the sheriff deputy. The front half of the car was 90 degrees from the back half. The car was no more than 30 feet from my house, and without the tree there, he would have been in my house.

It's a rough way to go, but if it had to happen, like you said, at least he didn't take any innocents with him.
