A family got killed a couple of years ago up the North Coast hwy because an elderly driver had a heart attack and ended up on the wrong side of the road – unfortunate for all concerned.

Well obviously, the Police can’t comment cause it will go to coronial. But generally you can read between the lines of the Police message and work out what happened.
I agree with a few on here, What I got out of it was that no matter where your drivin and when, you gotta expect the unexpected. It came across as a basic reminder to check the cars around me and pay attention to the road rather than fiddling with the radio station.

I was disappointed with the Police officer doing the on-the spot PR. He went too far- mouthing the standard line by effectively attributing the accident to driver error. Didn’t he make the mental connection “elderly driver + single vehicle veers off road = high probability of stroke or coronary”.
Sure, all drivers need to be alert and drive carefully, but there are some things you can’t prepare for, like an unexpected coronary.

I was actually trying to be discreet. If you really must force out my sources, lets just say that a few minutes ago I spoke to a friend of the woman who crashed. ok?

Wow, given your earlier post, that’s a really sad and traumatic bit of info. 🙁

The probably just got bored with the site though.
