Man. What a shame. That car is in awful shape...

This brings a question to mind...

With all the computer shit in our cars, what kind of data (if any?) is recoverable from our computers? I would think that there is some kind of 'black box' function in there...this is, of course, assuming that the computer (or wherever data would be stored) isn't permanently damaged in some way...

2014 Camaro. Juan Perez said the road he was on isn't very good and gets really slick. Hard time for us Cardinal fans.

It's called the EDR: Event Data Recorder. In a GM car they record the following:

GM AIR BAG SDM / BLACK BOX / EDR / CRASH DATA AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD:
(depending on model year and SDM module configuration)

Vehicle speed (in five one-second intervals preceding impact)
Engine speed (in five one-second intervals preceding impact)
Brake status (in five one-second intervals preceding impact)
Throttle position (in five one-second intervals preceding impact)
Driver's seat belt state (On/Off)
Passenger's airbag enabled or disabled state (On/Off)
Airbag Warning Lamp status (On/Off)
Time from vehicle impact to airbag deployment
Maximum Delta-V ( DV ) for near-deployment event
Delta-V ( DV ) vs. time for frontal airbag deployment event
Time from vehicle impact to time of maximum Delta-V ( DV )
Time between near-deploy and deploy event (if within 5 seconds)

EDIT: GEEZ, missed the 2006 and up info;

ADDITIONAL CRASH DATA AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD 2006 AND NEWER GM VEHICLES:

Low tire pressure warning system status
Traction control status
Anti lock brake status
Transmission range
Service engine lamp status
Vehicle door 2/4 status open/closed
Outside air temperature in degrees F
Passenger seat belt switch
Yaw rate
Lateral acceleration
Steering wheel angle
PDOF / Principal direction of force degrees
And more...

Very sad. So talented. I want to believe he was not getting on it, but just lost control somehow.
