It is basic human nature to try and simplify situations so that we can understand them, however things are rarely as simple as we perceive them to be. One news article isolated the road conditions (location of the canal), one focused on the cell phone, others attributed the weather as being the primary cause. The truth is probably a combination of all of these plus additional factors that no one is aware of.
Driving skill will not protect you from every accident. While it is certainly good advice to slow down when conditions are poor, you should have sympathy for the tragedy of the situation. A mother and child are dead, a family has been devastated, and we will likely never “know” exactly what caused it.
