The full article, if you care to read it, indicates that the driver was drunk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree , sentences for drink drivers are far too lenient in most countries . Should start at 20 years and add more years for the ages of his victims. The younger his victims, the longer his sentence 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Even though they have indicated that the picture is from Google Maps, I would be a little peeved if that was my pickup in the shot. I initially thought it was the accident vehicle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there is any relationship between the two ? Covid carriers are unseen and unknown to those nearby and thus difficult to avoid while traffic accidents are quite easy to avoid !

No, but it makes Covid deaths look trivial in comparison with the highway mayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
