Another victim of the last winter blast . . . or was it?
The tracks from this truck were straight as the road started to take a gentle
bend. Maybe the driver was suffering from fatigue or tunnel vision and did not notice the bend till it was too late.
This region is notorious for white outs, so perhaps the driver could not see the bend in the road.
The driver may have been trying to look through a dirty or snow covered windshield.
Whatever the reason, the damage is done and it becomes another learning opportunity and an example of winter hazards drivers deal with in northern a climate.

That's it, No More!
I don't know where this cold white stuff came from, I was sure it was gone for the year.
I spent all day Sunday outside doing spring stuff in reasonably warm weather then suddenly back into snow and cold.
I heard something like 400 accidents reported on local news, how quickly people forget how treacherous snow and ice can be.
DRIVE SAFE!

There are road rage incidents happening all around these days but this time it's deadly.
Yesterday in the early morning an incident in Milton Ontario caused a fatal accident when a car cut in front of this SUV and slammed on his brakes.
The SUV driver hit the median wall and rolled while trying to avoid the car and was ejected and killed.
Unfortunately, However trajic and unnecessary this accident was, it won't effect many people's habits after a few days when the news stories calm down.
Drivers need to relax, leave a little more space between vehicles and be a little more considerate of other drivers needs. It's stressful enough for most people just driving on the highways not to mention the dangers of radical actions taken in the heat of a moment when someone gets pissed off at another driver.
