Jörg Haider was driving double speed limit when he crashed

Jörg Haider was driving double the speed limit and had attended two parties before his car skidded out of control, killing the far-Right leader yesterday.

Mr Haider's four-wheeled drive VW Phaeton V6 was completely destroyed by the crash, near the southern city of Klagenfurt.

Two of the car's doors were ripped out by the impact and he suffered severe head, neck and chest injuries, as well as a broken spine, and his left arm was almost completely severed. His speedometer stopped at 142 kph at the time of the crash.
