A 1970 Mercury Cougar carrying 7 people, going over 90 MPH went out of control, scraped a bridge curb, struck an unprotected light standard, became airborne, and rolled down a steep slope. The right door handle was torn off allowing the door to open; the driver and a passenger were ejected through the open door and killed. The other passengers received only minor injuries. Alcohol and excessive speed caused the accident; poor highway design compounded it. (Author)
