The above comment is an example of why comments would be better of closed for these stories,speculation about the cause of the crash and the generic RIP is not good for anyone. I highly doubt the family come on here to see all the ‘heart felt ‘condolences.( i know im speculating in a comment giving out about speculating).
The weather had a part to play in this crash I would imagine. Even modern cars can’t keep people safe from the weather. RIP.
