And this is why we don't drink and drive, right folks?  Poor lady left behind a 9 month old son.  :'(

Agreed.  I've seen this sorta thing happen with sober people as well though.  Some people just panic in larger cities and turn down the wrong on/off ramps and don't know what to do.  The speed at which that person was going though was ridiculous.

Sadly, there are people that try/succeed in committing suicide in this way.

I believe we're number 5 or 6? I'd have to look it up.

By gross deaths we're the number one most dangerous job in the nation - nearly a thousand of us die per year.

If you like buying stuff, thank a trucker.  :D
