I will ignore both the shockingly bad grammar in the telecast graphics as well as the multi-level ignorance re: armored vehicles and simply observe:
A: Being the spouse of the head of Jelly Bellys seems to come with some coin.

A tragic accident.
There's a joke in there about literally turning a belly to jelly but I ain't making it...
The whole thing falls a little flat to me.
Yeah, I went there. If you're dumb enough to ride on the outside of a tank, and with your back facing forward, and you're going down a hill...hello, Physics calling...it's indeed a tragedy, but one that was very easily avoided with a dab of common sense.
"Drugs and alcohol do not appear to have been a factor in the accident, a CHP official said."
Either they were a factor, or they were not a factor. To say they "do not appear to have been a factor" suggest a lack of certainty on the part of the official.
