Yes I’m sure most people realize what fatal means- thanks Captain Obvious. I can tell you from personal experience driving on that road regularly, it’s extremely dangerous. I did not place blame on anybody except to say I’m surprised there aren’t more accidents on that stretch of road.

Yes accidents do occur and I certainly feel sorry for anybody that has lost someone in an accident. The reality is most “accidents” are preventable because someone wasn’t paying attention to driving their vehicle. That could be anybody involved in the crash or not involved but caused the incident.

You are all idiots.  Did you ever stop to realize what fatal means.  That was my friends dad who died this morning.  He wasn’t impatient or a wreckless driver.  Accidents happen, and now my friend is fatherless.  Why don’t you spend less time leaving mean comments and think about the family that has to deal with this horrible tragedy.

Impatience or a cell phone likely to blame. People drive their cars like it’s a weapon.
