Thankfully her reckless driving didn't take out anyone else.

Saw the shrine by the tree this morning. Really bummed.

It says she was ejected from the vehicle. Wonder if she wasn't wearing a seat belt. I'm always amazed how many people don't wear one.

I'm guessing all of the above.

How sad, my heart and thoughts go out to her family. Somebody lost a daughter, maybe a sister, a cousin, a niece, a granddaughter, a GF, maybe she was a mother? She had friends, classmates and coworkers, they all are suffering tonight.
If were going to speculate publically, then here is mine, maybe she got an emergency phone call from her Grandma who had fallen and couldn't get up and she was racing over to save her, when her brakes gave out going down that long hill and she didn't want to run the red light at the bottom of that steep grade, so she turned into the trees to stop her car and her seat belt failed and she was ejected.
Those of you who have been around for a while may recall how some of the local rabal rousers were up to their stirring up trouble over the proposed arterial due to its long downhill straightaway. They were expressing concerns over the high speeds going down that grade and how that might contribute to violent accidents. They were asking for traffic calming mitigation to be installed, but naturally the developer objected and the council sided with the developer.
In case there is any doubt, these are the same Council members who are approving the lengthy high speed arterials for south of 50.
No doubt the City is going to get named in a lawsuit over this and some of our tax dollars will be siphoned off to pay for the settlement, that will be kept confidential. 99,9999% of the residents will never hear about this and some will keep saying, " We live in a great City and our Council Deserves the credit for keeping it great". When you hear that again, please remember this young lady!
Its not surprising that we ranked as poorly as we do as such a dangerous city to drive in given all the high speed arterials we have with very little mitigation.
Great Citys, have Great leaders who go to Great lengths, to preserve and enhance greatness! We've got a bunch of wannabees who get chapped lips kissing up to the developers so they can keep their seat on the Council!

No offense but this is the most pathetic (and completely improbable) thing I've read in a long time:

Let's give the lady the benefit of the doubt. I think Nowtherestofthestory was trying to give a story that is probably not true, but puts the young lady in a good light. It is a shame she was killed, but thankfully she didn't have any passengers and another vehicle or person wasn't involved. Let's think of the grieving family and friends and keep the speculation off the boards. When a cause of death is made then people have the right to make comments. My two cents.

I think whats pathetic is we have some in our community speculating publically what may have happened that caused this young woman to loose her life! Put yourselves in her families shoes, youve just lost your precious girl and you've got a bunch of busybodies gossiping online about what negative attribute she was doing. How about some compassion from our community, instead of rushing to pass judgement.

Folsom PD said she was traveling at a high rate of speed. Its very unfortunate and I have sympathy for this tragic loss, but its not the city's fault she was speeding on this road and, by her own actions, ended up losing her life. People drive up and down that road all day long and find it perfectly safe. I haven't heard about any cases of Mercedes having floor mat issues causing them to speed up and end in crashes. That said, the only judgement I see being posted in the thread above is against the city.

Did the City's approval of the design of the road contribute to her speeding? If the City had put in traffic calming measures as requested by many of its residents before the road was approved and built, would this have prevented her from speeding and possibly be alive today?
Ill wager these are questions the Families attorney are going to raise. I wont be surprised that the City will be spending our tax dollars on defending and then settling another lawsuit over this. It could have been avoided.
