Just one crash in broad daylight is bad enough. But four in seven minutes? How is that even possible?

Authorities say Kiriko Masasi, 23, crashed his 1996 Lincoln into a guardrail, a traffic standard, and five vehicles. In the final crash, he hit three cars head-on and suffered life-threatening injuries. All of the crashes happened in just four miles.

More from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Around 3:45 p.m., Masasi was making a right turn from northbound Highway A onto eastbound Highway OO and struck the guardrail on the opposite side of the road. He continued east on Highway OO, where his vehicle rear-ended two vehicles at Highway OO and Bennett St. - a Chevy Impala and a Mercury Sable in two different lanes. There were no injuries.

At the intersection of Highway 47, Masasi's vehicle struck a traffic standard and continued east in the westbound lanes of Highway OO.

After about 200 yards, he hit three vehicles head-on - a Pontiac Grand Am, Toyota Corolla and Dodge Stratus. A 29-year-old Appleton woman driving the Grand Am suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital. All of the other motorists were unharmed.
