.....deepest condolences to the family of the person killed, and sympathy to the truckie, but if I'm not mistaken, from the photos shown, it's a bit of the road that has needed repair for AGES, it's lumpy and bumpy and if you are not aware of the fact, you can easily end up over the white line. Why does it take something like this to happen before roads get repaired? So sad. It's also a bend that some like to cut the corner on. I travel that road a lot, and kind of hold my breath if I happen to meet a car coming from the other direction, hoping they are aware of the uneven nature of that bit of road.
