IMHO: Raining hard… water on the roadway… hydroplane… slow down !
I was heading north and saw this – they were nearly at the top of Singly Hill, so no water on roadway. It wasn’t even raining that hard at that time.
it says they spun out, but i seen lots of folks play chicken as that hill climbing lane ends in that bend on top of the grade.
they hydroplaned no speed or anything had facts in this accident get ur facts right
Seems like a number of rolled over cars lately.
Yeah, but if you suggest slowing down in wet, or otherwise inclement weather, it’s a bummer. The party cannot stop or even slow down.
