How is this even possible????

An Asian driving 24 on the Interstate. News Flash. NOT.

 

Should not be charged at all unless DUI.

 

24 mile an hour on the highway at 2 am, okay lady.

 

The Idowu surname is of African Yoruba origin lol.

 

If the truck driver was estimated at 65 when his truck collided with her vehicle, then he probably wasn't paying attention or he was driving too fast and couldn't slow down quick enough.

 

Or the deceased was driving TOO SLOW to be on the interstate highway. The posted speed limit is 65 mph-the deceased was traveling 24 mph!! The minimum speed limit is 45 mph on interstate highways,and even then you’d better have your 4 ways on. The only thing I can surmise is if that Toyota had a mechanical issue and went into “limp mode“.

 

I’m also wondering if the deceased had any lights on. What other reasonable excuse would a truck driver have for rear ending someone at night?

 

She definitely contributed to the accident. But at the end of the day, especially as a professional, it is a driver's responsibility to pay attention to what's in front of them at all times. The only way I see this as not being preventable is if the car's lights were not operating.

 

That’s a possibility too. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen four wheelers driving with her lights on but no tail lights on in the middle of the night. And part of the problem with that is a lot of these people are used to the DRL feature on most modern cars but they don’t actually check to make sure all of the lights are working.
