I agree. SLOW DOWN!!! Rainy weather did not cause it, speeding/negligence did. I am glad the people are ok.

WRONG: THE 'HEAVY RAIN' DIDN'T CAUSE THE ACCIDENT....DRIVER NEGLIGENCE/STUPIDITY DID.

"Rainy Weather Causes Rollover Accident On I-25" No, the rainy weather DID NOT cause the accident. The driver of the SUV was travelling too fast for the conditions, otherwise the vehicle would not have hydroplaned.
