Police say a Rhode Island man who streamed himself on Facebook Live speeding and weaving in and out of traffic was seriously injured when he crashed into a garbage truck and a concrete barrier.
State police say 20-year-old Onasi Olio-Rojas, of Pawtucket, lost control yesterday on US Route 6 in Providence.
The video was posted on Olio-Rojas' Facebook page and shows him driving at speeds exceeding 160 Kmph and weaving through traffic.
Police confirmed its authenticity to WJAR-TV.
Police say Olio-Rojas hit the truck as it got on the highway, then crossed three lanes and hit the barrier.
