Police said the accident did not appear to be weather related,
although the road was wet from heavy rain earlier.

No ****. And here all these years I thought rain was related to
weather, but it is good to know that the cops in this country are
intelligent enough to know better.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered about that. I think they
meant that even if the road was dry she'd have still removed herself
from the evolutionary scheme of things. In other words extreme driver
error.

interesting, thats very close to my house. And that's why you don't
make sharp turns on wet or damp roads. And that's why my car is in the
shop right now. =/
