Very sad. No academic rescued him with a research fellowship or the like - what a surprise.

I enjoyed this. Is that wrong?
Edit:
Actually I subsequently read this. It wasn't dodgem cars:
"FORT WORTH, Texas — The National Transportation Safety Board has released a comprehensive report on the 2021, 133-car pileup on I-35W in Fort Worth that resulted in the deaths of six people and dozens of injuries."

I would have to assume there was ice on the road or they were all swigging from bottles as they drove..........

@macca
They call it Black Ice
A.I
"It's called black ice because the transparent, clear ice is so thin it appears black by reflecting the dark color of the asphalt or pavement underneath it, making it almost invisible and very dangerous for drivers. The name highlights the deceptive nature of the ice, which lacks the white, opaque quality of regular snow or slush ice because it forms without trapping air bubbles."
From the linked investigation report:
"Fort Worth Police Department Sgt. Richard Camacho told investigators the road was slick to the point of being like an ice rink when he responded to the pileup. He saw another officer actually slip and fall, injuring his shoulder.
"As people involved in the accident, some injured, were exiting or coming out of the expressway, they were having to use the wall to keep themselves upright," Camacho told investigators. "I mean, they were literally walking across the wall -- using the wall to hold themselves up.""
