horsewell Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 It's pretty funny that the accident appears to have happened at a better part of the road. It's currently cut into a number of sections where they are constructing parts of the "new" road. It's good that it's concrete but the foundation is mud and I can see erosion, insidious unseen erosion, eating away over the next few years until somethings got to give, but I digress. That part of the road has good lighting and is sealed at the edges, so it must have taken some effort to lose control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roel Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Or after successfully maneuvering the bad stretch she decided to accelerate once she (thought) she could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
