Sorry there was a death. May Sr. Montero rest in peace.

The location of the crash is at the bottom base of opposing inclines. This poster is familiar with the location. It is quite possible the vehicles involved in the crash were at velocities exceeding reasonable norms while in close proximity to each other. All that is needed to create chaos is one imprudent maneuver or a mechanical failure of some type.
