Two separate single vehicle crashes right across from one another. A van hit the ditch on the north side of the highway and rolled. Before they could clean it up another idiot ditched his pickup on the other side of the highway. Both were travelling east. The hwy conditions were fine. Yesterday another pickup hit the ditch in exactly the same spot. Poor drivers caused all three.

Hey Dumb, maybe it was due to highway maintenance.

Maybe Dumb is throwing ball bearings out his chip truck window again.

Highway maintenance is rarely a good excuse for traffic accidents. If you crash during icy or snowy conditions then the blame likely lands squarely on the driver.

So let me get this straight….three separate accidents in the exact location in two days??? Maybe its the uphill portion thats causing the vehicles to gear down that is causing loss of traction and loss of control?

Or it could be the “I have a 4WD truck & I am invincible” mentality. Seen all too often on a daily commute from PG to Quesnel several years ago.
