Howland was driving west into Columbia on Route WW when her Ford Ranger pickup crossed the centerline and struck a Chevy ¾-ton pickup heading east. Drunk? Or just careless?

If she was drunk it'll never be in the papers.

Just unskilled most likely. Boortz talks about this kind of thing quite often. They start to run off the side of the road and over-correct because they don't have the experience to know not to crank the wheel and lose control careening to the other side of the road or into a tree.
Very sad, but I wonder why it is important that she was a protestor?

I had a friend who reached down to get something he dropped and swerved head on into a tanker truck he and his passenger were killed instantly, no booze, drugs just a splt second and gone. The truck driver hit the horn and they looked up but too late to react, those things happen in a blink of the eye.

I'll bet she fell asleep. I'm sorry for her family. What a tragedy.
