Default GS350 vs. Parked Front End Loader = Not good for Driver

Just ran across while reading my local newspaper online at lunch. I thought the C pillar looked familiar and it turned out it was a GS350.

That's sad. I wonder who moved the barrier.

To be honest, the moving of the barrier is the least of the investigation team's concerns - how the heck did she manage to rear-end that construction vehicle?
No mention of icy road conditions or fog, so was she not paying attention or given the time mentioned, start to nod off in a warm car?
Either way, heartfelt condolences to her nearest and dearest.

I did notice it said that she was also driving southbound in the northbound lane...

It was not too cold in Houston last night. Our overnight low was in the mid 50s...
