I would think that his choice of car would have made little difference....

That's pretty extreme damage :(

Read about this on EliseTalk, the guy Jack sounded a great bloke.

RIP Jack :(


But there is no evidence that he was travelling at 112mph when the accident happened, the needle could easily jump to that figure on impact.

Full details haven't been released yet, but I believe at least two other vehicles were involved, and I think one was a pick-up.
