Look closely at google maps above.  It appears that if you're not
expecting the sudden 160deg turn, you'll do exactly what the Mercury
News described: sail across the winery driveway and hit a tree.  (I'm
assuming I have the correct spot here, and he was coming from the
south.)   At that location, I wonder what the warning signs and
guardrails look like.  Or if there are any.

We don't have google earth here at work, so I can't check whether the
highway was downhill at that point.

How would one access the accident records for a location?   Find out
whether it's a "death curve" or not?
