Not sure if this advice would have prevented this, but when possible, do not drive in the fast lane. Stay in the right lane and only m use the left lane to pass. We call the left lane, the suicide lane. Often drivers get distracted by the sights. Be safe and my best to the people involved.
Without question GP you are correct.
An ounce of prevention…
I join you in hoping all involved recover.
Hmmm, 19 you say? Texting could be a viable explanation. Yes, stay in the driving lane, which is ALWAYS right side.
Praying for healing and full recoveries for all.
texting while driving is every bit the impairment for which alcohol and drugs are recognized.
