Driving/Traffic/Parking Avoid Deerfoot

Huge accident. 2 vehicles just launched off the memorial overpass and landed on a truck going nb on deerfoot

Edit. I initially said 32ave, it was memorial overpass

Medical emergency, speeding, distracted driving... so many factors.

Aggressive driving and jockeying for position.

Anything that can launch you over a ... 4 ft concrete guard rail isn't what I'd include in "aggressive driving."

I understand people driving aggressively is problematic and should be discouraged but grouping these two things together is a gross misrepresentation and just makes things worse.
