Seems that there are endless serious car accidents here and mostly ones that appear to be inexplicable. Typically the news report says that the driver of the car lost control and hit - variously - a signpost, a tree, or another car. It’s true, as one resident said in response to the comment “but that road is straight as an arrow”, that we rarely have all the information and a driver might conceivably have had a heart attack, for instance. So I stop reflecting self-righteously that I’ve only once lost control of a car and that was on black ice. Though it does seem likely that here speed, drink and inattention are more probable than black ice.
Then note that yesterday following nearly a thousand accidents the Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure was asking motorists to avoid travelling on all roadways in southern Manitoba as conditions worsened and visibility neared zero. And road conditions in Northern Ontario lately similarly hazardous, though as in Northern Cyprus exacerbated by driver failures. Grateful to be enjoying Mediterranean sunshine.
