Looks like speed was a factor as well. That is significant front end damage. The speed limit needs to be enforced on 28.

FYI. Speed was not a factor. It was a head on collision. The smaller car, The one in the picture got the worst of it. My guess TEXTING WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT.......STOP texting while driving !!!
