[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole thing is horrifying. These limo "boats" are ungainly at best and [b]that was a dangerous intersection[/b]. Seat belts? Unlikely the limo had them. What a tragedy for so many people.[/quote]

It wasn’t a dangerous intersection.

The speed limit is something like 30 mph and the limo blew past a stop sign and hit a parked suv.

You are contradicting all the news articles and the locals who are all saying it was a notorious intersection and that the state had tried to make it safer a few years ago but hadn't succeeded. Apparently it is all a steep downhill and there is no warning that there is a T-junction with a stop sign coming, so people who are not intimately familiar with the area are not expecting it. Because nobody anticipates there being a stop sign at the bottom of a steep hill with nowhere to go but a ditch, since that isn't a well-considered road design. Trucks were banned from that section of the road because too many were losing control. And there are some suggestions that the limo's brakes failed. [/quote]
