This is such a horribly sad and tragic accident. Everyone should take this lesson to heart so this won’t happen to yourself or a loved one. My heart goes out to their family and friends.
A couple summers ago when my son was learning to drive, we were almost to Alton, where the road no longer has a wide edge on Route 11. I was describing about a potential for an accident if you drift onto the soft shoulder. No sooner were the words out of my mouth, when a car coming from the opposite direction was a little over the line, which had him correct and hit the shoulder. Thankfully he made the correction perfectly. Talk about a lucky day.
