This was a tragic accident. She was just 42 years old. Too young to die. Condolences to the bereaved family and friends. Remembering her wonderful and gentle soul will forever remain in our hearts. May she rest in peace.

I have never understood idiots who drive faster when visibility is reduced due to fog. Are so rushed that they forget that there are other cars on the road.
