    Very sad and condolences to family.

    It seems every week we read of one of more single car collisions, sometimes fatal. Far more than we would expect in a small population with limited number of roads.
    Are our roads unsafe? Or our drivers not properly taught to drive?
    Of course in some cases drugs and alcohol are involved.

      Having driven a few hundred thousand miles all over the world IMO our roads are some of the best and many of our drivers some of the worst.

    it is sad to note dislikes when people are expressing sympathy for the loss irrespective he or she might be, even if an enemy. May God give strength to her family to cope with.

    Always some @$$h●7€ here who would post a thumbs down on comments of condolences.

    A family in grieving for the loss of their child, yet some mindless noob(s) will always have the disgusting mentality to add something of no worth to comments.

    Heartless.

      Is it the hammer that hits your finger or the hand wielding it?

      Making moronic comments isn’t helpful.

        Well to continue your analogy if one make of hammer accounted for 1/4 of sales but almost every serious injury you’d not question if there was maybe something wrong with those hammers?

    Incredibly sad. Not all details are stated but I think this is another example of the risk of driving in a tiny car relative to a SUV. Heart goes out to her family and loved ones.

        There’s a Heck of a lot more safety in a SUV example Volvo SUV than a cheap tiny car. A friend of mine was in a huge accident during a snow storm hitting the guardrail on the highway. The police officer told him if he wasn’t in his big Ford Expedition he would have been dead being in a compact sedan.

          It probably had more to do with being a Hybrid car w/electric battery than being small. Those batteries catch fire easily and can burn for up to 30 hours.

          So we should all be driving big gas guzzling vehicles even if we can’t afford to?

            And large diesel burning fishing vessels. It’s what all those who spout “sustainability” do.

            In Florida, it appears cars damaged by salt water have been catching fire. You don’t see that in gas cars so yes, it appears electric cars have added concerns. I’ve changed my mind on that and won’t be buying one.

            NO! An easy alternative is you wear a football helmet and shoulder pads while in those tiny unsafe cars. Jockstrap May be helpful too or use walnut shells.

            No,by all means, choose a lithium core battery that is completely unstable once the seal is penatrated and volatile when water hits it. Everybody can choose the level of risk they are comfortable with. I’m sure the commenter was simply trying to educate the masses…a noble yet futile effort.
