'Speed and alcohol were believed to be factors'. It's a good think Lapping flipped her car off the road in a one-car incident (I refuse to call it an accident) before she killed innocent people in a car not involved with speeding and alcohol.The world would be a better place if all the drunks on the road would be involved in one-car incidents before making it far enough to hurt innocent people.
