maybe he was texting, tired or had an expired license . or had bad eyesight
Maybe the guardrails are in dangerous placement. Maybe as usual half the street lights were out. Maybe he lost control after hitting a 10” deep pothole.
Maybe he should have went slower if that’s the case and couldn’t see because of poor lighting. It’s all on him
