Absolutely , any death on the road is a tragedy , my only guess as to why it gets more mention over a long weekend , is down to the media (don't get me started on them):shooting:
The weather was not the best that is true , so people are at least driving to the conditions , which can't be a bad thing .
There were indeed some serious crashes , and serious injuries as well , which is not a good thing either, and while I may not always agree with what Peter Marshall says ( I don't on this subject because if it were the case there would have 0 crashes and 0 injuries ) , to be honest, I would hate to have his job , wouldn't mind his salary though .
