Later reports say speed over 120 but not necessarily 200,
and there was a very minor injury.

I was just reading a paper regurgitating the old claim that death
rate is proportional to the fourth power of speed. If there
is a 2% chance of dying at 50 miles per hour, there is a 160%
chance of dying at 150 miles per hour. A little math tells us
survivors = original passengers x (1 - death rate)
The presence of two survivors means there were -3 people in
the car before the wreck.

That would explain why it crashed then
