They appeared to be drunk.

I think they we're drinking so much they just got carried away. I see a Darwin award nomination. 

 

RIP, I think we've all done stupid things when we are drunk but sometimes what seems easy for a drunk person is actually super dangerous. Like driving.

 

I hope they have peace now and feel sorry for the families they left behind.

Better them dead than another innocent road user if they were riding drunk. However RIP, as they met an unfortunate demise due to an act of stupidity.

Appeared drunk ????

 

Anyway, I hope Bill and Ben are OK.

They probably found a little Thai shop selling Chang beer and stopped for a drink.
