Commentary:
The fault in this accident is probably going to fall on the shoulders of the wrong way driver, unless there is some kind of major fact that has been left out of the news that I’m not seeing. The main question in my mind is how long were they driving the wrong direction on the road, and where were they coming from? If they had been at a bar the night before, and were still over the legal limit after a night of sleep, the bar that served them could also bear liability in this accident if alcohol is found to have played a role.
