Some unwanted drama in the local shopping center early this morning when an idiot speeding at 160 km/h crashed into shops there, his car bursting into flames and incinerated him, and part of Centre Road was closed off. (Reports at: The Age, Herald-Sun, ABC News.) I don’t feel sympathy for the driver (a young male, no surprises there), but it’s inconvenienced many people and the damage to the shops will take months to repair. Mum and I went for a look earlier; there were a lot of people doing the same. (Darwin Awards site)
