Unfortunately there's a lot of those (there are even websites that track all those 人身事故), so I am unsure why this specific one gets more visibility than others (all are important).
May he rest in peace, poor soul.
It's never that bad they it can't get better.

Still no need to disrupt the lives of thousands of strangers.
