Totally not being chased.
at the risk of sounding a bit out there, cars can be remotely controlled due to everything being computerized.. there was that dnc staffer that died in a similar circumstance after it was discovered he leaked the Hilary email stuff to WikiLeaks.
edit: as pointed out by Evilphd666 i completely confused who did what, it was actually Michael Hastings who died in a firey car crash after his car just tore off down the road and smashed straight into a tree
do you have any details or articles about the remote control of cars? that's wild
