I wonder if his car tried to correct, where he was in the wrong lane. If it did, that might be why he crashed. we had to turn that setting off because the wheel would jerk the car when it wasn’t driving between the lines.

There is no traffic control on this road what so ever. I have lived on this road for 55 years worse now than it has ever been.

i agree with all these posts. I live in cburg now and I’m so glad I don’t have to drive that road anymore. but when I did have to take that road there are ready bad ditches on the side of the road if you run off the road then you’re guaranteed to have a blowout on your car cuz the ditches are so deep on the side of the roads there so Im not surprise that there’s more wrecks than there is now. please be safe my fellow people we only have 1 life to the ones who drive crazy stop rushing Thur live. slow down, leave early enough to drive safe 😮😞 and love thy neighbor. with love y’all.
