Almost died today on I-64 when a moron on a VW Tiguan (Texas plates) decided to swerve into my lane at the last minute (exit ramp for Big Bend).

Are they actually Texans or just rentals licensed in Texas?

^Another car careened off the highway at this interchange earlier this year and was unfortunately killed.

Every time I come back home from the east, I'm still gripping my steering wheel with white knuckles.

I saw a dash cam video of this on Reddit (not the STL sub either). Unreal. 55 in South City and a bit of South County might as well be a death trap tho so I guess it’s not super surprising unfortunately...

I saw the video too and was really surprised at how fast the car was going when it "flew" down the ramp, especially AFTER it hit the median.

I always prefer the etiquette of 55 compared to 70.  But yeah the video is insane.  I wonder if she simply went unconscious and went off the road at highway speed.  There's no reasonable individual who would try to take that turn at 60-70-80 miles an hour.

^ i can't imagine that she would have passed out and still managed to navigate her way onto and down the exit ramp, in the correct lane, at 80+ MPH. most likely she was intoxicated. i'm sorry but, barring some sort of medical emergency or mechanical malfunction that caused her car to accelerate to 20+ MPH over the speed limit against her will, i have no sympathy for her.

That entire interchange is such a nightmare.  Even as a seasoned driver of that stretch I've watched several near misses with merging, playing on phones.  If not to reconnect our street grid and riverfront, it should be removed just out of sake of public health.
