Too weird to make up (similar fatal crashes)

Two fatal car crashes in my town (Columbia, SC) in the last week and they are eerily similar. (Yes -- these are two unrelated crashes) :

Jan 1: A Cadillac gets on I-26 and drove east in the westbound lanes and hits a Nissan head on near mile marker 105, killing the driver of the Nissan.

Jan 5: A Cadillac gets on I-26 and drove west in the eastbound lanes and hits a Nissan head on near marker 105, killing the driver of the Nissan.

That sounds like a runtime error in line 25316 is causing a loop.

Sleep-driving. Many offenders are found with pharmaceuticals circulating in their blood. Don't put industrial products in your body.

Alcohol involved in Jan 1 crash. Fleeing from police in Jan 5 crash. Don't know yet if that driver was also drunk.

I posted because of the irony.
- Same interstate
- Same mile marker
- Same offender's car make
- Same victim's car make

Related...from Robert Earl Keen's first album No Kinda Dancer (1984)

CHRISTABEL

It's been seven long days and seven hard nights
In a sixty-two Chevy with broke taillights
An eastbound man in a westbound lane
A dishwater blonde about sixteen
Was standing on the shoulder with a ribbon in her hair
Her hand on her hip and her thumb in the air
And I pulled off the road and as she grabbed for the door
I knew the wind was cold 'cuz I'd seen it all before
And I was scared

I don’t think it’s weird or ironic….

I think the wrecks were a result of global warming, and we should blame W for them.

It's a conspiracy by GM. They are killing one Japanese car at a time to win back the market share.
