As most of you aren't from that area and I'm not far away from it, it is an easy area to end up in a tree tbh, I don't know the exacts of this incident but the slightest hint of tiredness would be enough to be going along one second and in the ditch the next.

Condolenses to his family.

A tree is the worst thing you can hit they rebound all the energy of the crash back into you
My sympathies to the family

Looking at that it looks like he's left the road at about 50mph and not having the seat belt on threw him into the screen and probably snapped his neck, I did a similar thing when I was 19 in a dealer car I was moving so a customer could view it only I did a lampost, even with the belt on I still managed to give the screen a Boys from the Blackstuff greeting, so imagine that with no belt and a laminated screen, might as well have been chucked into a brick wall head first.
