Another single vehicle fatal MVA? One is too many!
Agreed, Jeff…
Another one????
That exit isn’t that dangerous. Slow down, merge and wear your seatbelt.
Agree, but it didnāt sound like they were on the off ramp. I read the article as thatās the approx. already of hwy 4 where they crashed
They werenāt exiting. The car came to rest on the embankment, between the exit and the freeway.
How many now?
Did it roll???
It did’t roll. She dripped it out of the slow lane down the dirt and hit the first tree but she hit it so hard that the engine was actually up on the freeway
RIP
How fast were they going? Guessing they weren’t wearing seat belts?? Lot of force needed to eject someone from their car in a crash.
Even the engine flew out of the car
