T_Dog Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Having to avoid head-ons with these vans often on HWY-1095, this accident does not surprise me and I expect more to come. Have seen them passing on switchbacks with no visibility forward. Condolences to the families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishsmile Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 They should be charged with murder! This backward country will never even begin to change their ways as far as road safety and driving is concerned until they start taking responsibility and concern for the visitors and own people. Make an effort and make a point instead of shrugging their shoulders . I've run out of words..... Seems they will never learn or be concerned, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernjohn Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I am surprised only one death. I have only been over the route twice and with the twist and turns drivers passing on turns and what not I would expect to see this happening quite often. But that does not seem to be the case. It is a dangerous road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
