    my heart goes out to the families of these kids... it's very dark on those roads, and unfortunately people do not turn down their brights to regular headlights for on coming traffic and that can cause people to veer too close to the other car not wanting to get too close to the side of the roads because you cannot see from the other car's headlights being so bright. I'm wondering if that's what happened here :( it's important to turn the brights down when approaching oncoming cars, but many people do not, even if you flash your brights at them to ask them to do so...
