Motorcyclist killed in 'deliberate' Calgary freeway collision

[Freedom]

Hmmm, traveling in the wrong direction on a divided highway certainly suggests major confusion! Drugs, alcohol, some medical conditions, age, all possibilities. Sure hope it wasn't intentional. but the article says 'deliberate collision.' Oh geepers. Prayers for the truck driver.

Sandy, I know the Deerfoot - there is just NO WAY to do this by accident unless you ARE totally whacked out on something.

I've attached a couple of pics...the first one is one half of it(not sure of the direction). The second shows the grassy median between the two directions. Hope it gives some idea...

From what I know, many suicide attempts are made by people seeking to end their pain, the thought of others is far, far from their minds. A woman I know eyed a certain set of rocks every day for months on her daily commute, figuring that would be a sure way to die, hitting them at 70 miles an hour. Afterwards, recovered from her depression, she acknowledged that it was good she never followed through with it, as that's a particularly bad section of highway for commuters anyway, and other people would have probably been injured when rubbernecking, never mind anyone hit by debris from her crash.
