I don't understand why people drive drunk when you can fetch a Uber

[No name given]

Nor do I.

[fwdude]

Alcohol? Or pot?

[circlecity]

I saw nothing in the article about either driver being drunk.

Nothing in the article points to the driver who crossed into their lane being drunk.

Texting?

The story doesn’t say anything about the driver of wayward vehicle driving drunk, but that he may have had a medical emergency while driving.

The other driver had some kind of medical emergency. Died at scene

Article doesn’t mention the college they were returning from

We lost a neighbor a few years ago to a daytime drunk driver. Young woman, in her 20’s, 2pm on a sunny, dry afternoon.

We were asked to provide impact statements on what his loss would be to our community. He was a beef farmer and was just out running errands.

She’s in prison for a long time, and deservedly so. :(

I thank the Lord every night for our safe travels. We sometimes take it for granted. God be with them.

So sad

My Brother-in-law, who rides a motorcycle has always said: “
Yes, I am careful with my behavior, but I’m always more worried about what other people will do.”

The article said this about the father

“Mallory, a father, reportedly suffered a medical emergency leading up to the crash, a family friend wrote on a fundraising page, but investigators were not able to immediately confirm that detail. “

I have a friend who went AFIB couple days ago while driving

Totalled his vehicle into a tree

"I don't understand why people drive drunk when you can fetch a Uber "

Quite a leap you made there.

The median there (looking on google maps) is about 75 feet wide, scaling off the lanewidth (12’ on interstate highways). It would be difficult veer over, unless as speculated, the other driver had a medical emergency.

“I’m always more worried about what other people will do.”

I have driven over a million miles since 1979.

I have probably seen it all.

Never trust the other drivers. Especially since smart phones came out.
