The police captain was quoted in the news as saying “It doesn't appear there was any improper driving at this point”. So, the driver is going to have to live with this forever, even though it may not have been their fault. There are lots of terrible drivers in this state, but the driver in this case may not have been one of them.

You can have a combination of a curve, hill, blind intersection, narrow road, no shoulder, where an accident occurs because a driver just can't see something fast enough - even when driving below the speed limit. It can be road design too.

The road design through there facilitates speed, not safety. The next intersection is Main and No Main and there is at least one crash there a day,

The state should have DoT look at something that bad.

Outside of this rant even, it's a good thing to remember that your average car is absolutely fucking huge. Even a lil subaru impreza is 3000 lbs and people do seem to forget how dangerous driving is judging by the amount of people I see every day doing things like using their cell phone, checking make up, swerving between lanes, not using indicators, etc.

Police are infamous for absolving drivers of responsibility before and after any kind of investigation into these kinds of events. It’s just a whoopsie 🤷‍♂️
