Not sure how familiar everyone here is with cannonball runs, but from more than 50% of comments so far being in favor of the driver I get the sense that some commenters may not be. I didn't see speed numbers for this run, but the first previous run that came up in my Google search had a top speed of 193 miles an hour.

Personally I think this cannonball run was a very bad decision and posed increased danger to the drivers and to everyone on the road around them, including the noted issue of possibly hitting a truck carrying medical supplies. I take no issue with them going for a drive, but going for a potentially-near-200mph drive is a very, very different thing.
