I'm sure they have tons of money in the budget to pay for that.
How about we take it upon ourselves to guard our bodies. A good start, regardless of where you are, is to not drive when you are exhausted. Second, the 'skills are loaded with winding and curvy roads that do not have shoulders. Use more care. It's not like driving slowly in traffic down Route 59, 13th Ave, Bedford Ave, etc.

As unfortunate as this incident obviously is, the driver is to be commended for admitting to what happened rather than concocting a story (animal jumped onto road, swerved to avoid another car, etc.) to absolve himself of blame, as I'm sure many others do in such cases.

Best method to keep from falling asleep while driving: Place a $100 bill between your thumb and index finger. Open drivers window. Hold your hand out the window while driving.
