the ’cause’ of this type accident is usually poor situational awareness and poor decision making. Many times inebriation is involved!
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I’m sure it comes from personal experience.
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
That’s what all those sirens were about! I hope the person is okay.
We need to fix K St., sooner rather than later.
