Default Deadly Accident

This is a news report from Eastern North Carolina of a head on collision with a 2015 F150 and a minivan. The driver of the minivan was killed as well as one adult in the F150. Another adult and two children in the F150 survived. My prayers go out to all involved. The video has the details.

Jeez the roof looks sheered clean off the truck. I wonder the how that happened if it was head on crash.

It's unfortunate how people forget just how dangerous driving can be. Thoughts go out to the families.

The roof was cut off during rescue efforts. Very clean cuts. Crazy with this being in front of a school where folks should be going slowly.

Prayers for all involved . That Truck looks like it did not Handle a offset crash very well, if you pause the video it looks like the drivers front corner took most of the Hit. What is the offset frontal crash rating on the 2015 or did they even do one.

Condolences.


I was hit head on in my '98 F150 by a Chevy Lumina that was heading east making a turn south too fast at about 30mph and I was heading north coming to a stop sign at about 10mph. That cars front end was smashed all the way to the windshield damn near, window shattered, etc. etc. It bent my driver's side bumper down, slightly crinkled the driver's side fender, knocked out the turn signal and bent down the tow hook. These people both had to be going 40-50mph when they hit to cause that much damage to both. Crazy.
