Enjoying the curvey highway at speed from the sounds of it. Have done so many times myself. The radio report stated that impairment from alcohol or drugs was not suspected.
Accidents like this should help us remain aware that our reflexes are not always what we remember, as we age.
I am guessing this fellow made one small mistake, and it cost him his life. Thankfully no other persons were involved.
