How sad for everyone involved. And I agree, the driver was likely driving impaired.

I will admit to having made a mistake about 10 years ago when I turned head-on into a one way street in a city center/downtown area. Its hard to describe how it felt when I turned the corner and saw nothing but cars coming at me! Its one of those "OMG, what the hell did I do?" moments of terror.

Luckily, I was only going about 20mph and the cars coming straight at me were only going 25mph so I quickly pulled to the side of the road as they slammed on their brakes in horror of the crazy driver coming right at them. Then I sheepishly waited for traffic to go by so I could reverse direction. People had that "Yes, you are a stupid dick" look on their faces as they drove by me. Very embarrassing but no damage except to my ego.
