Prayers for those killed, but have to wonder why they were unable to negotiate the curve.

I grew up in Bay County, and know that area fairly well. The roads are pretty well clear and the curves are long and sweeping, so either the road was wet and/or they were hauling @$$.
Shame.
Shame.

Texting, distracted driving? Around here I have noticed a rash of people missing corners and crashing and crossing the center line resulting in head on collisions. When I check the age of the driver, seems they are always under 30. I would suspect cell phone use.
