Wow.
Must have been traveling at a high rate of speed to jump the guardrail and exit the roadway.
going to go out on a limb
And guess that maybe the monsoon we had most of the day yesterday had something to do with it.
May have been ice
It rained/slurried all day and then the temps dropped after dark.
The local unofficial weather station shows it dipped below freezing in that area around that time.
