Pure speculation but casino makes me wonder if this was an emotionally charged drive in combo with a person lacking self control. Big wins or losses and they unleash it on the road.

Scary, but doesn't look like they were trying to aim at the toll area. I would like to know what it was they were going straight at, like, is there nothing but a blank space park there or a significant building that would be a target? If there is something important there it would change everything about the optics.

Anchors for the local NBC affiliate saying their personal sources told them it was a local couple, traveling in their Bentley to a concert in Toronto. Saying local business owners & the town they were from, was probably a medical emergency. Not verified at all tho.

Oof the car disintegrated. Not much more than the engine, an airbag and tire left. I can see why it looked suspect.

The video is nuts. Whatever launched the car is obscured. I'm just glad the worker in the booth wasn't killed, and I hope they aren't seriously injured. The photo of the booth is scary, to say the least.
