This how rumors are started that incite the populace. There are some posters that either have no knowledge of what happened or they invent things in order to make a point.

Street lights would not have prevented this accident. There are many villages in Rockland that do not have street lights on all streets.

Headlights range well over 200 feet not 50.

Posted speed at this area 40. There is no evidence that the driver was doing 60. AT 60mph you are traveling 88 ft/sec. not in access (which I believe you mean excess)

At no time is there 6 lanes of traffic on Rte 59 in Monsey. There are only 3 lanes one of which is a turn lane near the intersection where the tragedy took place.

The driver was a Monsey resident with no evidence of being under the influence of alcohol or medications.

This was an unfortunate tragedy. However, instituting a nanny state will not stop tragedies like this from occurring again.

Finally, it is just as easy to be killed by someone driving 30. If not killed then certainly seriously injured. At 30mph there are 132,000 foot pounds of force.
