A tragic lapse of judgement-----but Who here or anywhere for that matter is perfect and has never made a mistake?
This IMO is not someone who set out to murder someone and I'm also leaning towards Sharkbaits angle----did her brakelights not come on when she stopped? what if her car failed and ground to a stop ie: drop a tie rod
2 October's ago I was travelling down hwy 60 in the heart of Algonquin-----Now I highly recommend NOT doing this in October due to the crowded influx of leaf watchers
Anyway---I came around a sharp curve---only to find a lone woman----car stopped in the one lane ahead of me---taking a Picture of a wild turkey
Not sure that is any different
