A lesson for ALL drivers, young and old: Over correcting kills! Regardless of your driving skill levels, there’s hardly ever a favorable outcome. I prayer that God will comfort the family as they grieve the loss of someone they loved.

Do they think it could be possible that she, maybe had a heart attack or something and lost control of her car. Usually older individual’s don’t speed, esp. in rain or bad weather. So sorry for the family and friend’s loss.Thinking of you all.
