My condolences to the family, but honestly; learn some directions before taking a trip. Not only was she going West when she should have been going South, but she was about 20 miles off route before she realized she was going the wrong way.

GPS devices are like $150 these days and in this case, might have saved a life.

Interesting. When a cyclist makes a reckless traffic move by turning in front of an oncoming car and is killed, he and all other cyclists are condemned by the boards on here in a hail of 160+ angry posts. When a motorist kills her passenger by making a reckless traffic move, only one person posts, respectfully, to (rightfully) mourn her loss. Where is the torrent of posts condemning this driver for stupidly putting her friends at risk, and actually killing one of them, just to save a bit of time getting back on track?

Because I think in this issue it is pretty clear who was at fault and there really isn't any point in a debate. While in the other article about the guy who was killed in Chicago riding his bike, there is alot of debate about who was at fault.
