This looks like an accident that happened at Deale, MD, a few years back. If following the GPS and
coming from the north/northeast, the GPS will attempt to cross the jetty. Looks like maybe the same
thing may have happened here.

Approaching an inlet at high speed in the dark is really not a good

Hard to beat local knowledge.

It's hard to beat good judgement and common sense.

Common sense is not always that common.

Good judgement comes from experience.

Experience comes from exercising bad judgement.

Just like learning to drive, the trick is to avoid getting killed in
your first couple of accidents.
