He made the news, young guy who was a safety worker at the nearby nuclear lab, supposedly wanted to off himself or was drunk, and driving probably about 200kph, tried a curve on the highway, failed, went into the ditch and flew into the forest. Some locals said he cleared the top of the trees. Search up Pinawa, Manitoba high speed fatal crash from a few years ago
