You’re driving in your car, coming home from work, but you had been working until 3AM every day. You close your eyes for a second and before you can open them again, you’ve drifted into the oncoming lane of traffic and you’ve just hit a minivan with three kids in it.

My friend from high school, was doing a project at University and his team had won design competition. They then had to get to Montreal (from Toronto) for the next day, so they packed up their presentation and model, got in the car in the evening and never made it to Montreal… he fell asleep and hit another car head on on the Eastbound 401. They had all been staying up to work on this thing, on top of regular school work.
