Two Drunk Drivers on a Dark Highway
Kinison and Malika were on the way to Laughlin, Nevada, for a sold-out concert. The driver of the truck that killed Kinison was a 17-year-old boy who had been drinking. But he wasn’t as drunk as Kinison had been.
The autopsy found booze, cocaine, painkillers, and tranquilizers in Kinison’s bloodstream. To make the situation worse – and deadly – Kinison wasn’t wearing a seat belt. Upon collision, he hit the windshield head-on. But he didn’t die upon impact. In fact, he got out of the car and asked God why he had to die.
