Anyone with a similar mindset to me would immediately wonder what time of day this happened, and would assume it was late night (apart from the 60-year-old pedestrian on the pavement).
In fact reports at the time of the accident state it happened at 11am, so my presumption was wrong

An investigation determined that Gilligan had driven at 69 miles per hour and straddled the white lines before the collision.
Of course, as per usual this begs the obvious question about something else that's not stated in the article - what the speed limit actually was. A bit different doing 69 in a 30 rather than 60 zone.
Couldn't find the exact location, but I'd guess from a few photos etc that it was a 40 zone.
Looks like one of these A-roads but in an urbanish sort of area (hence the ped on the pavement), so probably not a 30, but probably not a 60 either.
