Funny! I drove the that section of the Hart yesterday and the roads where nice and dry.

Yes, speeding must have been a factor.

Or a medical problem. Or another vehicle interfered with the minivan and did not remain on the scene...

Let's hope the driver quickly recovers from the injuries.

Yapping on cellphone, spilled coffee, putting on makeup, dropped cigarette, bald tires or picking nose.
The bottom line is most incidents are caused from people not paying attention to what they are doing.

LOL, I do most things wrong but I pay attention to what I am doing, therefore I don't have any problems. How about you Opion1, have any, (not paying attention) incidents lately?

If everyone worried about themselves, we would be far better off then speculating what othe people have done

opeeonone I do most things wrong too. That's why I worry for everyone else, they might get in my way! I do try and drive according to the road conditions, traffic volume, and potential for pedestrian interference, that's why I think it is ok to voice an opinion about another's apparent lack of attention and care. I mean how does one's vehicle become airborne and strike a pole, if not with a 'little' speed? Am I guilty of conviction by headline news? Only the shadow knows, and he ain't tellin'
as always, strictly an opinion.

Oops, forgot to say: I sincerely hope that the driver makes a full recovery in short order.
