Damn! That is terrible. It seems like it is always the people in the vehicle that was doing the right thing that die in these accidents. Life is unfair.
that freeway is terrible, has a lot of things going bad with it, rolling small hills, slight turns, no room to even pull over and stop, each side has a large ditch, some of the ditches are filled with water, it has 3 bridges that close at random times for boats to pass thru resulting in unexpected stops, HEAVY traffic, only a couple passing lanes.
so if you have to emergency stop your choices are limited, eat a big ditch and maybe flip over, end up in the water-possibly upside down, enter the opposing lane, crash into whoever.
