Photographs of the grisly results of a car-motorcycle collision have circulated online since at least as far back as November 2005: Originally the pictures were presented as pictures of an exhibit at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair, showing the aftermath of an inattentive motorcyclist's hitting a slow-moving car at the astonishing speed of 155 MPH, an accident that reportedly killed everyone involved (the motorcyclist, the automobile driver, and a passenger in the automobile). According to Swedish newspapers, the accident involving the pictured vehicle took place in that country in July 2003, when a passenger car made a left turn in front of a motorcycle traveling the opposite direction. The motorcycle drove straight into the side of the car, causing the vehicle to overturn with the motorcycle stuck inside of it. The car's driver and passenger, as well as the motorcycle rider, were all killed at the scene; the occupants of another car which was hit by the overturned vehicle escaped serious injury. None of the news accounts we found mentioned the driver of the struck vehicle's having been talking on a cell phone at the time of the collision or stated the speed at which the motorcycle was traveling just before the accident:
