I would reckon it was the stupidity of the driver which caused that accident. 🙏

And they were all wearing life jackets as prescribed by law, Oh wait no they aren't. 

Ok...   So thats the speed boat capsize for this month... 

 

Next...

... A bus down a ravine - rain and slippy road to blame

... A mini-van full of tourists - hits a road barrier, road barrier to blame

... Out of control truck - Brake failure to blame
