That is either a tragic accident, a suicide or a replay of this:

For some reason I don’t feel so bad about this.

She paused briefly before driving into the river, the CHP said.

Yep, that line in the article erases any kind of sympathy I had.

If she would have just called me before she drowned I could have saved her 15% or more on her car insurance!

I know those roads, I used to drive them or ride them every day. Not too hard in some places to take a flyer off the levee and into the river.

The secret to dealing with it, is to pay attention.

I lived in Antioch from 2004 to 06, and drove the 160 and 12 everyday to and from Travis AFB while I was activated. If she was in Isleton trying to find her way to Antioch, she shouldn’t have been driving in the first place.
