Sadly we're dealing with fallible mortals here - ones we share the roads with and ones who don't beleive they are bad drivers.

if i remember, ill bring the article home next week and type it up. it did not state cause, or other ways of avoiding what happened, but was blowing long and loud over the "need" for a barrier. i found it interesting that it was a transit vehicle involved.
