"Failed to negotiate the left turn" = driving too fast to make the turn.

Man, obviously driver is at fault but it’s incredibly sad so many children lost their lives due to the negligence. Feel bad for the survivor, that trauma will never go away…

What kind of an SUV can legally hold 10 people?

[ikktgmz]

It breaks my heart to hear so many children died.😢

[AKrn]

Normally there's a sign warning you of a curve. That's your hint.

[anonymousnotebook]

Remember when parents protected their kids? Doesn't seem like that happens anymore these days

[kd--kd]

Such a sad moment for this family. Prayers going out to them.

Was it a prank to see how many they could shoehorn into an Explorer?

[BL-cjlv]

No reflectors or sharp turn sign, no to all the families!!!!

Maximum seating capacity in a ford explorer is SEVEN. They had ten ppl in that thing! And all but one hv died! So sad.

Thats really sad, Rural roads have alot of twist and turns because of the crops and waterways, you have to drive at safe speeds

[Letthelightin]

She had a responsibility to keep everyone in that vehicle safe, driving along those kind of floridian roads at night is already a risk! There were 10 people on board!!!

Before 7:30? So it wasn’t even dark outside yet… those poor kids had parents that just didn’t care about them

[harveydilworth]

Everybody who drives a vehicle use common sense we don't need some professional telling us that are you kidding me

[NoFace-kepc]

Are people children? Did we really need someone to tell us that sharp turns on roads are dangerous. Why arent they talking about HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO HAVE 9 PEOPLE IN A SINGLE CAR !!!!

[Radiogirl]

So it was a large ethnic family that died. One younger male survived. The police department said that none of the occupants were using seatbelts or car seats. Sounds like reckless endangerment to me. How sad.

In the dark, I bet it is impossible to see. But it is not dark at 7:30pm do the driver should have seen it.

[MarySmith-bcmf]

Ten people? Stop putting your children in danger

[tedflaig]

Think they would have more signage and reflective markers for such an obvious turn…

[MisfitsFiendClub]

Bet she was driving way too fast. Very sad
