accidents happen, sounds like this lady stopped at MacDonalds bit down on the bad tooth, was in terrible pain, and drank and smoked some pt to help relive the bad pain she was in not realizing what it was going to do to her.Jay Schuler seems like a really special person, nice lady for sure

This tragedy only happened a few years ago, so I remember it well. It was quickly revealed that "Diane" was drunk and high behind the wheel when the horrible wrong way crash occurred. End of story, very sad, but no mystery involved. However, her family had much difficulty accepting that and this documentary shows us why in some detail. Diane was a high functioning wife, mother and employee. She was meticulous, even a perfectionist at times. She had some psychological baggage, but doesn't everyone? The mystery that remains is why she choose to use in such a manner on that day as to be totally incapable of operating a vehicle. It wasn't like her, it was very out of character. Her family repeatedly sought some other explanation, possible a medical problem, grasping at straws.Overall, interesting but very unsettling. It makes you ponder and question if there are parts of ourselves and our most intimate loved ones that we do not know or understand.

My theory on what happened involves the list of medications that they so conveniently glossed over earlier on in the film.It sounded like Diane was talking nonsense and acting very erratically. This is exactly how people get when they take Ambien and still remain awake. She may have mistakenly taken an Ambien pill, thinking it was something else.After she took the Ambien, anything could have happened. It doesn't make sense that she was drinking, but if she were high on Ambien and then started drinking, this would make a lot more sense.Just my theory and I think it's the one that makes the most sense. It is the only think that can explain how erratic her behavior and how nonsensical her speech was. If you are on marijuana or booze, you are still of your right mind...it is just a little distorted. Ambien removes you from reality altogether and if you do not end up passing out, you will be doing and saying things that are out of your control.The drug tests didn't indicate anything because Ambien is in and out of your system so quickly that it would not be detected.

I've got to say that for the first 35 minutes of this documentary, I wanted to believe Daniel Schuler and Jay Schuler, mainly for the sake of Bryan. I am an aunt of five, and I love them all dearly. I could never hurt those children. So I presumed that Diane must have been misunderstood. I still admire Jay for working so hard. And I commend her honesty. My heart broke for the families of Guy Bastardi, Michael Bastardi, and Daniel Longo. But then I heard about the bottle of Absolute in the vehicle. And I held my breath. I spent the rest of the film puzzled by Diane's behavior. I was truly devastated when I finally accepted what seems to be the truth of the situation. Much respect for Dr. Harold Bursztajn, Steve Fishman, Betsy Spratt, Dr. Werner Spitz, and Dr. Carol Weiss for their expert contributions. And to Liz Garbus, for making such a compelling and powerful documentary. Much love and healing to the entire Hance family as well.
