Judging by the severe front‑end damage in the photographs, it certainly looks like another case where the driver may have nodded off or lost concentration, especially at 6.30am when fatigue often plays a role.

Of course, it's up to the police investigation to confirm what actually happened.

Hope the young lady makes a full recovery.
