Two of the injured were in the car.

I don't even drive but I'd know better than to switch lanes on a sharp curve like that. Was the driver drinking or something?

I've been cut off pretty much every time I've driven down that stretch of road, last time by someone who was driving without a side mirror and had minutes before cut across 3 lanes to make a left at an intersection.
That is to say, I'm unsurprised that this happened, and the driver probably wasn't drunk but just a terrible driver.

Curves in the area, yes, but "sharp"? No.

The curve is uphill and from a taxi you cannot see when it will end. Perhaps "Blind" curve would be more appropriate?
