    So sorry this happened. My condolences to family and friends.

    I do not know that this was involved in this sad event, but just wondered about this for a long time. Seems there are so very many one vehicle wrecks: Aren’t people still taught in school not to snatch the wheel when they run off the roadway. But, to slow down and gradually steer back onto the roadway? Wondering.
