Default Fatal Accident on 280

Hey guys,
My buddy's uncle died in a car accident a week before Christmas when his car was hit head on by an SUV that was traveling on wrong side of 280 (near Woodside).
The driver of the SUV was reportedly very drunk (drunk enough to get on 280N through an exit ramp and drive on the wrong side for more than 10 minutes.
Everybody says be careful this time of the year as there tend to be more people driving drunk. But I don't think there's not much you can do in a situation like this. I thought I would post this as we celebrate new years just as a reminder to be careful out there. The man left behind 2 kids who are still in college and wife.

I think so, my parents were talking about it as well. He delivered merchandise to my parent's store for years so we know him personally pretty well. My dad went to his funeral last week I believe, but again, my condolences to the family for their loss. I didn't get to talk to him much but I heard he was a very nice and caring individual. RIP
