On my way in to work on Friday morning there were a lot of police cars on the off ramp I take to come into work. I checked the news when I got into the office and saw what had happened. Someone in an MS3 late Thursday night was driving on an on ramp and was going too fast. Missed or didn't see a turn and flew off the road. The driver died and the next morning another motorist noticed the car and called it into the police.
Please drive safe. It's easy and a lot of fun to go fast, but we get so complacent and forget physics always applies.

The guy was headed West (left) to get into the interstate. Driver must have built up a lot of speed going down the straight and not seen that the ramp bends pretty sharply to the left.
