    Don't think so. Driver was running a DashCam. Fully not his fault. Just wrong place, wrong time.

    No. SUV came across in front of Schneider. He nailed her full blast broadside.

    Yea but Schneider was driving and not parked, so safety will see it as preventable. We aren't supposed to be driving these trailers.

    Speed does not kill, absolutely. Andy Green going faster than the speed of sound on land and living is proof of that. Hitting objects and abrupt stops kill.
