Maybe. Were either ejected from their vehicles? Whatever the 'unknown
reason' was, not driving the wrong way on a four lane highway would have
helped. Heading for the median when you see someone coming at you at a
high rate of speed would have helped.

All the air bags and seatbelts in the world can't keep people safe from
their own choices.

I used to encounter wrong way drivers a couple times a year working
nights. I always assumed they were just drunk. I pull to the right and
they always passed me driver side to driver side like we were on a 2
lane blacktop. I always wondered if they figured out something was
wrong or just forgot they were on the beltway.
