An aspiring doctor, Ryan Folsom, was heading to a job interview in Sacramento, California on Jan. 7, when he was struck by a car driving into oncoming traffic on Interstate 5, just south of Knighton Road.

Grace Elizabeth Ward, who was in the other car, had spent 7 minutes and 29 seconds sitting in the median strip contemplating suicide. After hanging up on a phone call with her mother to tell her that she decided to take her own life. She then turned her vehicle, drove through an opening in the cable meant for emergency vehicles and accelerated towards incoming traffic.
