someone asked where the people came from and he replied:
They were gardeners trimming the trees in the island-divider in the center of the road. I was in the left lane when one of them stepped back into the road. I was doing about 40 mph over the posted speed limit of 45 mph when I lost control of my car, so it was really not "their" fault as much as my own.
he owned up to his own mistakes.
