A Brazilian drugs trafficker was killed by his own stock of 500 pounds of weed when he was crushed by half a ton of marijuana.
The man died after he lost control of his car and hit a tree, resulting in his stock of weed stored in the backseat shooting forward, squashing him against the wheel.
The driver was on the run from the Federal Highway police, who had taken up the chase after the smuggler refused to stop at a road block in Bataguassu, 210 miles from Campo Grande.
