Even 45-50(lest she drove straight in without any braking), and a seat belt on, that would even be a bit rare to die(on the scene)?

Thank you for your service.
As you know, accidents, some minor, critical, & fatal, happen at all speeds, for all reasons; age, (minor or senior), distractions, health, weather, trying to avoid another driver, zoning out, just not paying attention, etc.
Unfortunate example: My mom was killed while sitting at a red light, in the passenger seat, with her seatbelt on by some female, with her 3-week-old baby in the backseat, going 43 miles per hour. The person that killed her was on her phone. When it was in the Village News / online, there were several comments made about how old people shouldn't drive, they were old, didn't know how to drive, etc. A friend of the family had to keep posting that my mom was minding her own business STOPPED at a red light.
(EviesGP, this is not directed at/towards you)
So instead of everyone judging / assuming / guesstimating / pointing fingers, blaming the accident on this & on that, being judge & jury, let's remember a young life was lost, no matter the reason, that's irrelevant. Someone just lost a child. What if a child just lost their dad? What if he had pets at home? Wife?
Bottom line, it's sad when ANY person loses their life.
We do not know what happened, we may never know, and leave it at that.
I was taught never to assume. It makes an ass out of you & me.
