Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those lost and we wish the passenger a speedy recovery. While I am not personally familiar with this roadway, I am familiar with many of the two lane narrow shouldered roads present in our rural communities. Extra precaution must be taken on these roads given there are rarely any median dividers and the shoulders are narrow. In other words the room for error is small.
