Possibly? who knows. This is a fairly new county road four lanes very wide. It's like an interstate hwy. People fly on it. 50 mph speed limit. Open about a yr or so. We've had 6 major accidents on it so far. Five fatalities. The township police have radar all over the place on it. The spot where the incident happened is on a very gradual turn. From what i see it was excessive speed and driver inexperience. Plain and simple.
I dont want to get into how I feel about parents getting thier young kids high performance cars but the majority of teen and younger driver accidents I respond to involve cars like these.
I know the same thing can happen in an old beat up nissan, but usually not.
