I still fail to understand how anyone can get going the WRONG direction on a major highway.
A young lady from Mansfield was laid to rest this past Sunday, after she managed to do so at 0400 one fine morning last week.

yeah, you can say the operating under the influence thing, but I don't have any idea about that.

0400 Sunday morning, which means after Saturday night drinking. Also if I read the report correctly, she was *traveling* down the wrong side of the highway with the median to her right for who knows how long. There's no way you could convince me alcohol was not a factor in this crash. Same with the high school girl that unfortunately died a few months ago.

I hear ya, she also had a passenger. As I said, I can't see it the circumstances as you say are just disturbing.

The other death (John LaChapelle) was my next door neighbors nephew. They got off early to hit the race in New Hampshire.

He survived the crash and died in the burning car as he was pinned.

What a terrible way to go.
