I believe it, it even says the father was yelling and waving at her (while presumably driving so close to the car in front of him doing 110 kph that he couldn't see around it). But again... lunacy. He has even his daughter riding with him going that speed, your eyes are not anywhere but ahead.
And if you check out on Google maps Highway 30 between Châteauguay and Montreal, this is a pretty big highway. I didn't see any obvious places (especially with the described medians) where there were sudden sharp corners and no visibility, it has long stretches.
Obviously crazy duck lady never should have stopped her car and left the vehicle, but I just don't think (admittedly, based only on the two articles) it is fair to place 100% of the blame on her for the deaths. She was definitely a contributing factor, but the charges should imply that if she had of stopped her car in a different, legitimate way (broken down, hazards on, etc.) those motorcyclists would have not suffered the collision. I'm not sure that is the case, but I guess we will never know.
If she hadn't stopped there, they would still be alive.
