He said,
“Look at this place, is this even the right place to make a U-turn? This is a highway and for Christ sake, the oncoming vehicle couldn't have controlled the speed it was coming with. I saw it. I think the man was drunk.
It seems he was even making calls. Look at all the drugs recovered from the car. Did you see all the drinks in the vehicle? No responsible police officer could have been this careless.”
Another eyewitness took to social media to give a recount of the horrifying scene.
