He should of just pulled into the rest area he was passing. Looks like he hit the rail at the re-entry to I-75 from the rest stop.

Wait - a 2nd case of someone 'reaching' for something...the other was cigarettes, right? Folks, you are driving a car - that is your only cocern and responsiblity until you are NOT driving a car. Pay Attention!...the life you save may be someone you love!

That's very true, Lee. It's a lesson I learned 30 years ago when I totalled my car as I was reaching to adjust my radio. I took my eyes off the road for only a few seconds - and then when I looked up, I saw myself heading right toward the back end of a parked car. It was too late to hit the brakes and I slammed right into it. The thing is, I was only doing 35 mph. It's amazing how fast you are really going at what seems to be such a low speed, and yet cause so much damage.

People need to re-learn the concept of focusing on driving. Too much distraction. Nothing is so important it can't wait until you pull over & stop.
