never ceases to amaze me, head on’s on a interstate. comeon man, its 4 lanes divided by a pretty wide mediam could see it on a two lane road, if I was driving down the interstate and saw headlights in my lane coming at me, id change lanes or get off. is everyone sleeping??
Drunk or elderly driver is my guess
Drunk driver my guess, an elderly person would be home in bed. Nothing good happens after midnight.
Young person on the phone is my guess.
