I think the news said that she did stop and ask for direction to a place, but I think she turn the wrong way since then...
but still, she drove quite a while to at least figure out that she's not on crack

Saw a "Possible fatality" blip on sigalert yesterday for this... guess it's worse than I thought. I drive this route allllllllllllllllll the time and I still have no clue how this person drove the wrong way.... it's not like there's a wimpy divider between the opposing sides of the toll road... it's a freaking sloping hill/chasm/somethingobvious for a divider.
Maybe this crazy person took one of those small paths for patrol cars thinking it was an offramp to a "normal" road and turned right after looking both ways?

I think the driver was initially going the correct way then got turned around. Maybe at a toll? Maybe she spun out then got twisted?
It's hard to fathom, but stuff like this happens. Too bad.
This is a perfect example of paying complete attention while on the road. It's why I never talk on my cell while driving. Bad habit and bad sh!t happens.
