Yikes. As a team driver, this is one of my biggest fears. Something like that is often a death sentence for the person in the sleeper. I hope this driver is okay, and that he learned from his mistake.

Oh crap and in the rain? I never heard of this curve before.... but have driven through there... is it really that bad? I'm normally way below speed limit so.maybe I never noticed it as "suicide" by going around it?
