Why would a school teacher behave in such a manor . My beloved brother is dead. How could she have went that way for a mile to eventually run into him?

Dear Michelle, I am so sorry for your loss. We report on crashes everyday that involve drunk driving, and yet I never get used to it. I have a dear friend who lives close to the location of this crash in Pacifica who drove past the scene, and it could have been her, or anyone's loved one who was killed. Such a senseless tragedy to an innocent person. I'm so sorry... Ingrid, Accident Data Center
