Summary:
25 year old woman with no criminal record stopped her car in the left lane of a highway in order to save some ducklings stuck in the median. There was not enough room for a shoulder, so she stopped on the road. A woman in a truck towing a trailer saw her and swerved to avoid her. A man on a Harley with his 16 year old daughter riding behind the truck and trailer went into the back of the car and flipped over it. Both died. The wife/mother was riding behind, claiming that because she had a learner's permit they were only going 85km/h when this happened. I believe the posted speed limit on this highway was 100km/h. Other things that I've read in various places: the motorcyclist didn't hit the car directly, but rather slid into it probably due to sudden breaking and the bike falling. A cop testified that the motorcyclists speed was between 113km/h and 129km/h at the time.
