So sad. The only thing I can think of when I read stories like this is suicide. Why would anyone operate a vehicle with no seat belts on? The amount of people that his death will impact is tragic.

Edit* Read the article and it says both Mr. Seau and his Wife were wearing seat belts. So sad.

Edit* NVM. My reading comprehension skills are ****. He wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

Whenever I see a report of a vehicle drifting into the path of an oncoming vehicle my first question is medical emergency. Second thought would be possibility of distraction. But medical conditions are my main suspect. I’ve always wondered how many driver fatalities in motor vehicle accidents would‘ve died without the accident, due to some medical event.

That’s possible as well. Where I live, it’s either drugs, or intentional suicide. It’s a terrible way to take your own life, knowing that you could be taking someone else with you. Clearly that wasn’t the case here. But, when I read no seat belt, I think suicide. Intentionally or not. You’re playing Russian roulette.
