@prettypiscesxo I’m in traffic design, more fatal accidents occur when people improperly drive (like going 55-60 in left lane) as it causes more disorder in traffic. So please everyone, drive better and with flow! This is the true way to prevent it. Have consideration for yourself and other drivers.

Praying for all involved and praying for the family and friends of the deceased 🙏
