Oof, boy plowed those cars hard enough to give himself a heart attack
I go to the landfill several times a day. Flies aren't that hard to deal with just roll down the windows and they leave on their own.
I wonder how many people he killed when he plowed into them because of a fly😂

The fly has actually filed a civil suit for harassment and reckless endangerment.

He didn't seem to have a reaction when he realized there was an impending crash ahead. Probably too psyched over killing the fly.

Mohinder Singh, who was high and severely sleep deprived when he ploughed his prime mover into four police officers on Melbourne's Eastern Freeway, has been jailed for 22 years.
Key points:
- The Eastern Freeway crash was the single greatest loss of life in Victoria Police’s history
- Singh pleaded guilty to eight charges, including culpable driving causing death and drug trafficking
- Supreme Court Justice Paul Coghlan said the officers' deaths were "entirely unnecessary and should have been avoided"
Singh, 48, was ordered to spend at least 18 years and six months behind bars over the crash in April last year, which killed Constables Glen Humphris and Joshua Prestney, Senior Constable Kevin King and Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor.
The crash was the single greatest loss of life in Victoria Police's history and today's sentence means an end to the tragic chapter is now in sight, just days from the one-year anniversary.
In sentencing the father of two, Justice Paul Coghlan told the Supreme Court of Victoria that the incident had profoundly changed the lives of four families.
"The police officers had no hope," Justice Coghlan said.
"Their deaths are entirely unnecessary and should have been avoided. Their deaths were caused by you."
Singh has already served 357 days behind bars.

After the sentence was handed down, Constable Prestney's father, Andrew Prestney, read out a statement on behalf of the victims' families, thanking the first responders and police for their work and the Australian public for its "outpouring of love".
"Even though justice has now been served in relation to the actual collision, no amount of punishment can replace the loss of our loved ones and the missing place at our tables that will be felt by us for the rest of our lives," he said.
"We are consoled by the fact that our four will not be forgotten as we continue to carry them in our hearts."

Driver had little rest in days before crash
On April 22 last year, Leading Senior Constable Taylor and First Constable Humphris pulled over Melbourne man Richard Pusey for driving his Porsche at 149 kilometres per hour on the Eastern Freeway.Two other officers — Senior Constable King and Constable Prestney — then arrived at the scene and were standing in an emergency lane when the truck, driven by Singh, veered into the lane, killing all four.
In the moments after the crash, Singh was heard wailing: "Oh no, oh no."
He pleaded guilty to eight charges, including culpable driving causing death and drug trafficking.
It has since been revealed that Singh was seriously sleep deprived, with the court hearing that he could have only had five hours of rest in the three days before the collision.
He was also a prolific ice user, a habit which had made him actively psychotic at the time, causing him to see witches and believe in aliens.

His lawyer, Peter Morrissey SC, also told the Supreme Court that his client had allegedly received "significant pressure" from his boss, trucking manager Simiona Tuteru, to deliver one more load.
Mr Morrissey told the court that the men prayed together before Mr Tuteru allegedly said: "You are now healed, now take those chickens to Thomastown."
Mr Tuteru has been charged with manslaughter over the crash but is planning to contest the allegations against him.

Justice Coghlan said the collision was burnt into the minds of many Victorians.
"There are events which shock the public conscience. This has been such an event," the judge said.
"The unnecessary loss of the lives of four serving police officers, simply going about their duty, is a matter of huge community sorrow and regret."
Justice Coghlan said he had watched the footage of the crash, which he described as "chilling".
"It shows the inherent danger police officers face while going about relatively routine dangers," he said.
"You drove to keep your job.
"That decision was selfish."
