I knew immediately that this death was a Covid-19 death. (sarcasm)
Where's the curve and the news guy sounded as if someone had witnessed when he says that the driver was ejected after crossing a creek.
Where is the curve ????

Where is the curve ?

That's #1 clue, there is none. I know that area, it's a state route built close to interstate standards. The map is pretty clear on that.

...news guy sounded as if someone had witnessed when he says that the driver was ejected after crossing a creek.

I dismissed the video offhand when I saw it was an "affirmative action" hire. One could assume the police made that determination, but then again, they weren't exactly sure if he was wearing a helmet. I wonder if they couldn't find his head. Interesting, I hadn't considered that.
Two (or more) to go...
