In the absence of complete information about this situation it's best to condemn this woman's decision making in the most disgusting ways possible.

Sad story reminds me of another, this young lady gets in a spinout multi car wreck on the ice. She is out of the car and another car comes sliding into the wreck. She jumps over the guardrail to get away, but it was an overpass and she fell 25 feet to her death.

Brittany-620x326.jpg

A young mom from New York was making her way back home from a friend’s house, with her toddler daughter in tow, when she lost control of her car and went rolling down the highway. The two miraculously made it out of the upended car relatively unscathed, but when she returned to the wreckage, she made a horrific realization right outside of it.

Brittany Leith was recently divorced and determined to make a better life for her 3-year-old daughter Zoey. She recently got a job at a salon in West Babylon, while working toward her cosmetology license. Saturday night, Brittany and Zoey spent some time with a friend, before heading back home down the Southern State Parkway in Long Island at just before 4 a.m. Sunday morning. But or reasons not indicated, the mother lost control of her car and rolled.

These people drive way to fast. Doing 90mph in a 65 mph is crazy.

I like to keep it slow. I like to do 50 mph in a 65 mph zone. Slow and easy wins the race. :)

And she may have just been stupid

---snip---

It's not that she couldn't have just been stupid it's that no one knows if she was just stupid versus the other very plausible explanations pointed out in this thread. To just jump all over the woman and assume she was stupid, especially given the circumstances, is retarded.

She wound up upside down. Was that caused by the concussion/shock of the accident before the accident happened? Cars don't flip of their own accord, it takes significant driver error to make that happen in a single car accident. So I'm thinking stupid or impaired is a prerequisite.
