Nasty stuff. Either someone was not paying attention and crossed lanes, orrr someone spun out in front of someone else and the guy behind obviously didn't have time to brake or didn't brake fast enough.

I think thats a myth or whatever you want to call it. It's still a 60 mph impact. Youre better off hitting moving car that is going 60 than hitting a wall at 60 if i remember correctly from a Bill Nye i saw in school

Ouch. Seems this guy was driving irresponsibly if he was so far left to hit her passenger side.

When you come out of Oakdale and over the 2 lane rolling hills, it banks to the left into one lane on each side. It starts to curve around a blind left hand corner. It happened right in the middle of that corner. Traffic had to detour on the little plateu on the side of the road to go around it.

LaGrange Rd. takes you to the Marina at the bottom of Lake Don Pedro
