My take -
Pilot either didn't take the road into account during his flight planning - or completly forgot about it during the approach. If I know there is a road in play - I'm going to make sure I clear that road (and anything moving on it). Student Pilot used poor judgement on that approach...
I'm soo screwed myself then.
I have been hanging around 100LL burning engines since I was six years old starting with a B-17. Maybe that's why I'm so hard headed - my brain has a lead coating! I remember going to the Denton airshow as a kid and driving around with my Dad and a friend in a fuel...
