Why were they out driving at 4:00 in the morning? I also have to wonder if drinking was partially at fault

Heading to work or home from work a possibility also. I remember working some crazy hours at that age.

Either way, instead of kissing them Merry Christmas they will be burying them. So very sad no matter the reason. The families will never be the same.

We usually leave home between 3:00 - 4:00 am for trips to avoid traffic. Maybe they were on their way to visit family for Christmas.

Regardless why they were on the road, a family is now in pain.

I drove often at 4am to retain employment. There are many legit reasons to drive at 4am. My son is a firefighter, sometimes he drove to calls from people with Covid who were told it was a hoax. We choose not to wonder about people who believe the unbelievable.

Also, one does not ‘have’ to wonder. We can train our minds for positive outcomes and possibilities. We can focus on lur own shortcomings, gratitude, acceptance, letting God, letting God or karma or fate…do the work for our wondering minds.

so everyone on the road is drinking at 4 in the morning , I take first flights out in morning to airport (limo) you would be surprised how many people on road at that time and for many years I drove home to Boston for summer and started at 4 but regardless of that I wonder why a person would think right away something bad about a tragic accident instead of feeling sorry about it , I’ll do it for you , I’m so sorry for these people and may there god have mercy on them

We just had to leave for the Orlando Airport at 3 am.
There was just as much traffic on the turnpike as any other time. Don't assume something bad just because it was early in the morning!

There were driving north bound on 75. They were from Ocala. Six people in the truck. Perhaps coming from the airport to home or from a night of fun in Orlando. Either way, a sad outcome.

I agree. 38,000 traffic deaths per year. How does this qualify as news?

Some people leave for work very early. So wrong to speculate.
