It could have been two murderers in a hurry to dump a dead body.
u only said that the man was dying( not dead ) so how cum 3 died but only two died fron the crash.
The dying man most likely died just before the crash.
a heart attack is not a remote possibility... good teaser
Coulda bin a hearse with a stuck accelerator!
A car fleeing after one man in the car was killed from a driveby shooting.
Fhqwhgads, where are you from that a drive by wouldn't be suspicious or illegal? Good teaser! I thought the hearse thing too, until I read the hint.
i thought that the driver had a heart attack at the wheel, and crashed the car, thus killing the other two occupants
I thought it was a funeral car, with the dead body (as nothing illegal was happening), a driver and a passenger (can't explain the passenger...). They were driving fast because they were late for the funeral! Although I really can't explain why they were on the freeway...
Great teaser though! + your answer was better
