You can say that, but you don’t know if he has had a seizure or blacked out leading to collision. Don’t always presume the worst when you don’t know the facts. Accidents happen, it’s an unfortunate part of life.
A straightforward Road. Something or somebody has failed badly.. You should be safe on a Road like this.
