re: 2 children dead after being struck by SUV while fishing

As speed increases, wet traction is considerably reduced. Since hydroplaning can result in a complete loss of traction and vehicle control, you should always reduce speed when raining..

The speed limit being 55 is not the problem on Bluff. The problem is no one goes 55 on Bluff. They've overlaid the road several times and there is no shoulder, so a couple inches right and your tire drops 5-6" and first reaction is to jerk back, often times causing over correction. I've pulled a few people out of upside down cars in my yard because of this.

My mom was first on the scene last year when the lady did the same last year killing her and her infant with her, less than a 1/4 mile from that exact spot.
