    Well it’s still under investigation. Judging by the photos I’d say the Caravan driver took the curve too fast not realizing how sharp it was, given the weather conditions (wet,rain slicked roads).

    Hopefully he didnt have any kids. Not saying they would be like him. Just that it is hard to lose a looved one. Granted this cured his bad driving.

    After seeing the absolute highest level of stupidity and ignorance these people display in front of me every day, I am pretty much out of all sympathy. Another day, another death. Eh...
