It is terribly sad all around. There will be plenty of guilt and hard feelings between the families about the various "what if" scenarios. Was she driving to fast? Did she accellerate incorrectly? Maybe there was some debris on the road in the corner? Whew, my heart goes out to the families in trying to reconcile the variables here.

I recall at least two profound occasions when my Cobra "got sideways" and I was NOT driving aggressively! I was completely shocked at how easy and how fast it can happen. One time was on a road next to the beach (it's Hawaii, pick a road, any road) and a virtually invisible layer of light sand had blown onto the asphalt. I casually turned off the main road onto a side road and all hell broke loose! I stopped, checked, saw the sand, dang! Lucky I didn't hit anything or anyone.
