I saw a Honda Civic cut lengthwise by a Guardrail at high speed drivers body was ejected out the back with the drivers seat , it looked like a ripped open soda can and not a car.
Know what you saying!, I just retired from EMS almost two years now with almost 30 years experience. I have been there a few times and shed a few tears. Bless you for what you do!. Stay safe my brother.
@@williamcope2652It appears to be simple. The little Ram appears to have passed in a no passing area looking at the solid line on the side he would have been traveling on. Maybe it ended just before and he ran out of room. I don’t know but he for sure looks like he was at fault. He paid the ultimate price.
I hadn’t heard that saying before but I would say that is pretty accurate. A Smart car only has 3 lugnuts & it’s tiny. Had it been a Smart car hitting the Ram van the Ram probably would have won being it has 5 lugnuts.
Okay but let's not lie. We need to drive safely. Not too fast, not aggressively but not slow either. Kids would see this and immediately role their eyes because they well know it's faster most of the time from their own experience.
@joanfrellburg4901 No... just stating facts it's physics. Learn your Sciences. We don't need to be lying to people or embellishing the story. I said nothing to condone speed, poor or distracted driving... your second mistake was not listening to what I said. Your 0 for 2.
@@hudsondonnell444 Yep. Life is short yet it's the longest thing that you will ever do. Enjoy every sandwich, moment, sunrise and sunset and the time in between with family and friends.
And to think there is a person inside that small Dodge commercial van . What a terrable job the fire department personal has to remove that poor young man who was only 19 years old. RIP.
That's why I would not own a Van there are no broteckshi about with a big hit like that you would not be safe anyway iam a ex volunteer rescue squad member for 20years in Australia and have some very bad crash like that one so may the young man R.I.P .
My dad once told me, he doesn't pass someone who is going slightly under the speed limit. Too many times it was that person who slowed him down kept him from being part of an accident that just occurred up ahead.
Great advise from your dad. I know drivers get mad at me but if I'm looking ahead and all I see is red I'm taking my foot off the gas and gliding. And hoping that whatever's ahead will be cleared by the time I get to that spot😂😂😂
On a two lane road I won’t pass unless the are going at least 10 under and there’s not a car in sight. The oncoming car may look far enough away but the closing distance when passing is often underestimated.

I was in a crash like this when I was 11 years old. A man crossed over into our lane. The other driver died and my whole family suffered from injuries for a long time. This was obviously a hard hit too... Probably could have seen it from the space station! I'm 67 now, and I still have nightmares. Please be careful and aware of your surroundings at all times when you drive.
I got hit head on, at night on a hill. Injuries that affect me to this day. It's been 30 years but I still let up off the gas and clinch the steering wheel when approaching a hill at night.
People in Texas drive fast as a standard thing, crashes like this are not unusual. Impact force is mass*velocity for each vehicle, added together. It doesn't change significantly between a head-on collision and a T-bone. This looks like it was approximately comparable to that van going 160-180 into a granite cliff, minus the collapse of the vehicles. Truck driver is lucky to even be alive but he will probably have undiagnosed brain damage or TBI.
As a Paramedic for 31 years. I always said, “In a hurry to get nowhere.” Everyone has to beat that yellow, for what? I have to wait 3 minutes for the light to change?
It’s nice to finally have someone NOT blaming the road! So many crashes are always blamed on the road which simply is not the case. It’s driver inattention or carelessness every time😢
I have talked with ems police first responders and they always say that it is hard for them to deal with children who have passed in such tragic events. When they come home they hug their kids extra tight. Drive safe and pay attention so you can Arrive alive.
@@327JohnnySS definitely sad because if you’re not not smart enough to become a commercial airline pilot or pass the policeman’s exam, you’re gonna get stuck with jobs like this or maybe even deboning chickens or maybe even digging ditches
Probably 40+ years ago a buddy of mine was travelling through Tx in his RV and came across a grisly crash scene. Said '2 beautiful young girls were in a 'squatty' little foreign sportscar and drove right under the back of a dump truck at speed.' Said he saw one of the responders bend over and pick up an arm lying in the road a just toss it in the back of the ambulance.
Used to drive for a living in South Florida. Saw wrecks like this. I quit after I saw 8 people burn to death in a passenger van at a railroad track. This idiot truck driver had a fully loaded gasoline tanker pulled across the track in heavy traffic. An Amtrack train came at 40 mpr and plowed right through the tank,and everything blew up. I was across an intersection at the last light before the track right at the light. When the explosion occurred,I lay down on the seats and then went to the floor. Felt the shockwave,saw the fireball above me through the windshield. Crawled back up and sat up in time to see all the cars and such at the track engulfued in an inferno. Then I saw the van and the 8 people in it on fire,them inside thrashing until they didn't move. They weren't the only ones,there were others in cars,somehow some got out alive by running from their cars when they saw the train coming. The truck driver survived,he tried to shove forward through traffic in a panic,then bailed out of the truck and ran. I was on the way back to my base after the day was done to turn in the van I was driving. Yeah,I was driving the same sized van. Handed the manager the keys,told him what I witnessed, and I was done. I went home, and I drank until I passed out, so I wouldn't think about what I saw and how that could have been me.
I heard about this story my friend was there too when it happened he said people died from a gas truck hit by train. This happened in Pompano Beach or ft Lauderdale he said
My thoughts & prayers are with y’all. I was a trauma nurse in Delray Beach a decade later. I have seen many patients that I was surprised that made it through. I remember reading about that crash & a couple others, sadly it is usually caused by some one going around the gates.
Never take driving for granted.I never pass cars on 2 lane roads unless I can see way ahead.This was totally preventable.Better to come home late than come home dead.
In my life, 4x I’ve had cars come right at me. 4x I swerved and missed them. Drive defensively. Alway think that next car is going to come at me. Your life depends on it
Those two lane highways stress me out to no end, I'm constantly watching the front tires of each oncoming vehicle and idiots trying to make high risk passes
That is what I was wondering about the black pick-up. Did he even see this coming, could he have hit his brakes to at least slowed down? I am always watching people as they come at me too!
4 times geez. Almost every day I see someone driving in the middle of the road. But so far they always get over. The worst time some butthole got made at me because they didn't realize new cars have LEDs even tho it's been like ten years now. He flashed his high beams at me even tho my low beams where on. He then turns into my lane very quickly and aggressively and then turned back into his to in the same manner and made me slam my brakes harder than I ever have before.
I drive a tractor-trailer. You'd be surprised how often oncoming traffic wants to pass a line of cars, with me heading straight at them, in my lane, and them coming straight at me, also in my lane. Well, I don't play chicken. I'm in a vehicle that is registered to gross at 52 thousand kg. I'm not yanking out of the way and putting myself in the ditch while they go on their merry way. I like to think that as my truck is going over top of them (should we collide), that they wouldn't quite be dead as their puny little car starts going under my front end. As It rips open the bottom end of the radiator and pulls off all those hoses, they get soaked in near-boiling coolant, just before the engine block and steer axle simultaneously stop most of their forward momentum and begin reversing course at whatever speed I was doing. That should finish them off, but then you have the transmission, and the driveshaft, which is likely still spinning and powering the drive axles. Oh, one, or both of the fuel tanks come along next. If just that amount of obstruction isn't enough to halt their intrusion, pretty soon, along comes the 2 drive axles, carrying the front end of the trailer I'm towing. Highly unlikely they'll get that far, but if they do, they'll go down and under those. With any luck, my air brake tubing has somehow miraculously held up, and my brakes (what's left of them) is slowing my forward momentum. By now, I probably have no control of the steering anymore, but hopefully my remaining brakes can stop me before I make contact with any other unfortunates in the vicinity. Sitting where I sit, up high, it's likely that I will survive, if the oncoming vehicle wasn't much bigger than a full-sized van, it probably won`t be enough to rip into my compartment. If it's a cube van or larger, then likely I will also be calling for a ride away from this accident scene, and most likely I won't be able to find my ownership and insurance papers when the police arrive. But, if it's just a little Honda or a Subaru, I'll come out of it unscathed. So long as a fire doesn't ignite, then things could get interesting.
And this is why these trucks not only need to be banned for non-commercial use, but any one that is on the road needs to be removed. Auto manufacturers need to be held liable for how dangerous these vehicles are to other drivers, also.
I heard the accident from my house. At first I thought someone was thumping around my front door, but it was the echo of the crash within a half mile. It was a Friday and traffic is sooo bad around here when it is that day. There is a school and a highway full of traffic unloading nearby that makes it so bad. My daughter and I went down back roads to get to the store, because FM 1314 was blocked off. Probably 10 police vehicles plus other workers. Ladies at the Dollar General were crying. Everyone figured both vehicles had someone in it that lived in our neighborhoods nearby. 1314 was closed til almost midnight last night. I wondered what exactly happened and who. My daughter is 20 and I thank God that she understands not to go fast on this road. To let the fast ones pass you. That if a vehicle is driving strange to back off. To go super slow in a drizzle rain, because it get so dangerous. Folks don't drive. They look at their phones!

You dont have to be going fast or even moving... I was the front passenger seat of a car stopped at a red light when I was 14 years old and a drunk driver flew through the intersection and hit our car... I went up and into the windshield because I was not wearing my seat belt ..the drunk driver left the scene on foot and was caught 20 minutes later ... I have worn a seat belt ever since
I just had a young kid pass me today. I was driving with cruise set at 60 mph in a 55. He passed me and serval others at a extremely highrate of speed. All you can do is pray for them.
A practice manager for the company I work for was driving home from work last week when I a guy crossed the center line and hit her head on. She didn’t make it, but he’s still alive. She was just on her way home from work 😢
@kgb4187 that 'Dodge' van's essentially a Fiat Duplo; renamed a Ram van. The last year of a Dodge truck/big van vehicle was ca 2011; Ram superceded the former nameplate
😢😢I live ,on a neighbor Street and it's non stop fast traffic😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮 all the time !!!young people thinks is cool with super!!! Loud music !! It's in sane😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Father I come to you right now, asking you to be with the family and friends that cared and loved this person. God, please hold them tightly in your bussom so they can feel your presence and help heal them in the right time. And also be with the emergency responders as they take with them, what they see, hear, smell, work and have this to carry for a long time are carrying these families inside themselves. Lift them so they can feel peace. For it's in your name I pray, amen.💜
@@ligmasack9038Going over the speed limit and it still happens to me regularly. I'm not old, nor incapable of driving like a maniac, but I just use cruise control at steady speeds sometimes 5-10 or even 15 mph over the limit. And yet antagonist drivers routinely get upset or aggressively tailgate. I was driving 90 mph on the tollway in east Austin (speed limit is 85 mph) and people were making very unsafe maneuvers. I'm only in the left lane to pass. This happens to me in either the right or left lane, or many times in the center lane. People just think the roads are racetracks and forgot that driving is a privilege and comes with immense responsibility.
….and the red light runners. Going out yesterday, I saw two red light runners, and I was just telling my wife I see one every day, and then we saw our first one, the third stop light from my house. Young, stupid, and unaware or uncaring…..until …..
This may sound odd but we should apprecite these videos. They teach us about accidents and safety. My cousins videoin 2006 on the news helped me understand the mechanics of what happened in a drunk driving head with engine removal in velocity , due to 2 previous broken motor mounts not attended to. Causing a mass fire possibly due to smoking and driving with a electric fuel pump and fuel ignition. This gave me some closure , peace and sleep after days of worry. When we don't see a video like this it causes our mind to feel confused among the grief.
I wonder why that kid was in such a hurry? RIP. Only 19 with a life ahead of him. I hope that the driver of the Pick up truck makes a full recovery. Life is short yet it's the longest thing that you will ever do. Drive safe and always pay attention for others. Arive Alive.
Like many people on Friday, he was probably anxious to start the weekend, and won't even get to see it. Guess he didn't know that you don't jump out, and try to pass blind.
Being a construction laborer is a tough job, and most of the people in here saying kids need to slow down are the same ones telling them to hurry up and finish the job.
My dad was fire chief and in charge of ambulance service in our small.texas town. When is was a kid in the 60 s and 70s i remember him waking up at night yelling. After having nightmares. From seeing bodies cut in half brains on dadhboards and children burnt. He was a tuff man to do the things he did gotta praise all ems and fire dept . Ppl
Been on many wrecks like that over the years as an EMS helicopter pilot. It never stops, and many folks do leave the industry because there's only so much carnage you can accept mentally.
"they let Dave fly a helicopter"......OK So he can "stick" in a car and eat with a knife and fork with out self harming ...But a Metal Pigeon WhirlyBird ..C'mon guys ...unless a Ginger like Clown prince Harry ?
When I first graduated nursing school, I worked a DC10 plane crash back in Sioux City IA. To this day, I have nightmares smelling jet fuel and burned flesh. I knew right then that if I wanted to be a nurse, I could not witness that kind carnage ever again. God bless our emergency responders and ER trauma staff. ❤❤❤
I've only once seen a crash aftermath this horrific in person. about 34 years ago. I lived in the Chico CA area which often gets tule fog in the winter. Tule fog is super dense fog just above freezing that hugs the ground in low lying valleys; you may not be able to see more than 100 yards, sometimes less. One morning I was driving up our rural road to highway 99 to head into town to work. I had to constantly run the wipers, and as cold and damp as it was, I had the window down to listen for traffic. I pulled out onto the highway and quickly, too, once I determined that it seemed clear of traffic. Well, about a mile down the road I found out why. I started seeing the flashing of emergency vehicle lights reflecting off the fog. I slowed down even more and crept by the scene of a semi sitting in the other lane, with a small car wrapped around the front of it. The car was quite flattened by an obvious impact. Turned out that the car's driver had been going way too fast in the fog and slid out of control into the opposite lane. Unfortunately the semi coming the other way had no time to react. He wasn't going fast. But imagine the semi were doing 25 and the car 45. That's a 70 mph impact with the semi's weight of approximately 18 tons empty, and as much as 40 tons loaded. I was told that the car had been reduced to maybe a foot wide from side to side. They had to pry the car apart to see if they could identify the very deceased driver; finally found a purse lodged in the footwell against the seat and identified her that way. Can you imagine how horrible for the family? There would be no showing them the body. Closed casket. And all this because she decided to hurry in thick fog.
After many years on a volunteer fire department I can still remember coming up to a crash scene like this , what most people don't realize is the smell of death , a bad crash like this would obviously have had that unforgettable smell , you never forget it .
A friend who lives in the country refused to be a volunteer fire person because she knew too many peop,e in the area and said she couldn’t emotionally deal with what she would find, especially young people.
@@snoozeflu I have heard that the smell of fresh blood is very distinct and very powerful - especially when there is a lot of it "gushing" out of traumatic and large wounds. I've watched many videos of military people giving their experiences in combat, and many of them have commented on how "You NEVER forget the smell of blood". I can only imagine.
In crashes like this, I wonder if the driver was distracted and forgot that he wasn't on a divided highway, mistaking the oncoming lane for a passing lane. Passing on a two lane road requires planning and concentration.
@@knavekid I wonder that too. As well as in a van, you can carry a bucket, instead of racing to the next donut shop to relieve yourself. Sorry for any images this may provoke.
That's because like the kid and you, just don't know how to speed properly. Y'all gotta stop saying that because a kid will never listen if they hear that line because it's blatantly not true. Some people impatiently and or aggressively speed and that results in accidents or not getting very far. I could turn my 20 min drive home into 9 when I was fresh off evoc training and young and knew the traffic light patterns. But I stopped because the streets are unpredictable. I'm an incredible driver but all it takes it one moron walking at the crest of the hill at night in dark clothing or a car broken down in a bad spot between you being alive and well and in jail or dead. That's why I don't drive fast anymore. Because you can be the best driver in the world but that won't matter if someone's kid darts in front of your car or a van is blocking the road because they are doing an illegal U turn in front of you because you weren't there when they looked a second ago.
My old truck saved my life when I wrecked it, I had a 2020 Chevy equinox turn in front of me while I was driving 60 mph, my truck was a 2002 ford f250, my truck only had a driver and passenger airbag, when the car hit it was in direct line of the driver seat, my door wouldn’t open because the fender hit it but the cab structure was intact, the equinox was equipped with driver, passenger, side curtain, and seat airbags, but the passenger compartment was intruded in the lower door panel causing a sprained ankle on the equinox driver. There is no comparison with a larger and heavier vehicle. I’ll take 7 mpg all day knowing I’m safe behind the wheel in a 20 year old truck.
You be surprised some look like there just asleep ... I've worked in this Field but only thing is once you get them out there like Jello every bone token I mean every Bone ! Until I went in Military seen what really what seeing bodies look like when a Explosion hits it !
He is not a kid... he was an adult at 19 years of age driving a commercial van owned by a commercial painting company...WTF is wrong with people anymore that they refer to adults as children?
Honestly, young inexperienced drivers are an EPIDEMIC on our roads today! They treat cars like toys.., a 16 year old hit me and flipped my car .., it’s a miracle the accident wasn’t worse.., such a scary experience, the crushed car, the smells, the broken glass everywhere, the shock etc! He was a rich kid, and his folks bought him a BMW for his 16th birthday! I thank Jesus for his protection! What the 19 year old driving the white van did is inexcusable and just plain dumb! I’m was so glad to hear that the driver of the black truck survived and will be ok after much physical therapy. No one wants to see anyone die, but if there just had to be a fatality.., it is better it be the one who caused the accident than the innocent driver of the black truck! Because usually, it is the driver at fault who lives.., who wipes out individuals, and sometimes even entire families.., because of their idiocy on the roads!!!…. By the way, I also witnessed once a 16 year of driver with a 17 year passenger loose their life right in front of my eyes while pumping gas at a station! The foolishness young lady ran a red light try to beat a tractor trailer turning onto the express way! I saw her run the red light to try to get around the truck, I even witnessed her speed up to do it, and hit the semi head on! … That car folded up like a piece of aluminum foil. I literally watched the passenger take her last breath about ten seconds after the accident. Her upper body was severed from her lower body. The driver side was completely mangled to the trunk, there was no possible way to extract the body, the driver was a jigsaw puzzle, it was that bad! The driver of the semi was inconsolable.., but it WAS NOT HIS FAULT! I MADE VERY SURE, along with other witnesses, that the police CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD that it was 100% not the truck drivers fault!!! Here is the worst part.. it was 4 days before CHRISTMAS.., and all I could think about was two families.. had no idea that their daughters were dead.., and the devastating news they would be receiving AT CHRISTMAS!!! I stayed for hours on that scene because the police did not want me and other witnesses to leave! I watched them put a sheet over the vehicle and have to take that vehicle away on a tow truck with the bodies in it…. …. Inexperienced teen, and young adult drivers.., are a very serious hazard on our roads…
Unfortunately it’s an age where kids often think they are ‘bullet proof’ and sadly suffer the consequences of rash decisions… Hopefully the other driver makes a swift recovery physically and emotionally 🙏
MOST young people drive like nothing can happen because they weren't forced to watch the graphic films in driver's ed like older generations were. And they get participation trophies as a result. The only thing saving some of them is modern designs that crush to reduce impact forces, somewhat.
Let's see..... the driver of the van was "from Missouri", and the van belonged to "a local Conroe business". I wonder if the van owners even know it's missing yet?
"19 year old Antwone Henriques unfortunately did not survive the accident when the vehicle he forcefully borrowed crossed the centerline while he was on his way to doctor/engineer church."
Poor kid didn’t stand a chance against that Ford F350 😢. Size and weight still matters when it comes to vehicles, the smaller car never wins when it comes to car accidents. It’s never worth risking your life and the life of others just to shave off a few minutes of driving. I also feel bad for the innocent Ford driver, knowing that the kid was killed and couldn’t do anything about it.
Every high-schooler should be mandated to see these type accidents and the details behind them...By the time this young realized what was coming, he was instantly killed. I pray for the rescuers extracting the body, it must have been horrific. I'm sure the gentleman in that F-350 was thankful is was in "an F-350"...I cannot imagine going through an impact of that magnitude...My heart goes out to all involved...
@@ltdees2362 what i meant was, the van's softness benefitted the truck guy, otherwise the truck might've been forced to absorb enough to fold the cab, plus full frontal helped.
This is why I hate 2 lane highways. The crashes are always gnarly. All the Texas towns I’ve been in when you’re on a 2 lane, the driver usually drives on the shoulder to let the people behind pass.
As a former commercial driver I have seen some pretty bad examples of driving especially one morning on I-70 early in the morning a young lady passed by me going about 75 mph driving with her knees while putting on makeup. Needless to say I slowed down and let her get way ahead of me. That kinda spooked me as in all the years of driving never seen that before but seen an out of state driver lose control of his rice burner apparently after falling asleep at the wheel and did four rotations in the grassy median but gained control as he enter the other side of the interstate and somehow avoided on coming traffic then came back across the interstate to resume his journey but most likely stopped at the nearest rest area to change his underwear. This happened right next to my truck as I couldn't believe what I just witnessed. Even now being retired don't drive that much anymore but as I used to tell everyone I came across be careful out there..A lot of crazy's out there!
What i have seen the last 5 years especially is that people want to block people for some reason. I live in Texas and was driving on a 2 lane road the other day and a car pulled out in front of me, i slammed on the breaks and so did the other car once they were in front of me. The speed limit was 70 which is where i had my cruise set, once they started driving they wouldn't get over 45mph. Its a curvy road here in the Hill Country and doesnt have many passing lanes, every time one came up they sped up to keep me from going around and then slowed down to 45 again once there was no passing again. If i got very close they break checked me, this is the New Generation of Drivers! Try and make every one angry, I Miss the 70s and 80s!
Hey lazy boomer, you shouldn't be using cruise control unless on the freeway. Two lane highways without barriers aren't for cruise control. I know it's getting harder to process information, so if you need to read that a few times and maybe phone a friend, feel free to do so.
Looking at this video footage, it appears the van driver crossed over the solid yellow on his side of the road... indicating he was in a "No Passing" zone for him.
You can be the safest, most conscientious driver out there, and still things like this can happen to you. You may complain about fuel costs, but it pays back (in lives) to operate a large vehicle like the Ford truck seen here. There's no substitute for mass and seated height in a collision such as this.
but if it was with another equal truck with equal resistance, they'd both be worse off. the survivor benefitted from the van's weakness. whatever has less resistance will absorb more
Im so sorry for this man to die too soon. I'm glad the other driver didn't die and will hopefully be healed soon. Accidents can cause people to hesitate in driving. It did me. My condolences to this young mans family and friends.
Such a horrific crash! I have a 17 yr old new driver grandson on the road in a Dodge Ram now. I worry all the time because of speed. Thankfully his mom keeps take while he is driving.
So young. People trying to pass when they shouldn’t is one of the dumbest ways to die. And one of my biggest pet peeves when I see it being done. I’ve been run off the highway twice by people doing it. My heart is in my throat every time I witness it. RIP to the young man gone too soon and condolences to his family.
Lots of comments about the van driver speeding. Look around, take a cruise on 45 or especially 99, you'll be passed like standing still at 70. Gotta get to nowhere first....
My heart goes out to both drivers. That’s one of the worst wrecks I’ve seen in a long time. Every Driver’s Ed student needs to watch this video. I drove a Promaster 1500 service van for 6 years up until retirement, the same as this one. Honestly, I never felt safe in that vehicle in the event of a severe frontal crash. Prayers for the family of the deceased driver.
It's a damn shame that so many drivers out there are in a mad rush OR they are distracted by some kind of communication device. This was the van driver's LAST bad decision he ever made.
Always suck driving a small car. Almost got in a head on crash with a lady in her oversized Yukon. Got lost with all the traffic barriers and I swered the last minute in my Elantra. She kept going like nothing happened.
@@trashboat2000-tj3sdOnly in the USA would a Yukon/Tahoe be considered “normal” size,to someone. The are huge here…& in other countries, would be considered gigantic.🙄
I feel bad for the Ford guy. Im so tired of people pretending to drive, Playing speed racer Without ever taking the exta seconds to actually look or be safe about it. Dont drive if you are angry or halfass paying attention! I mean really look at the ground. 1:37 *Guy is passing in a no passing zone.* He didn't care at all about the rules or who he was going to kill, Luckily the good driver is okay.
I don't suppose fire and rescue would entertain the idea of using a cutting torch to expedite the process of separating the vehicles? Probably not, could catch fire too easily. What a sad end to the week and a life for the 19yo who went home young. Driver of the f-350, I hope he recovers quickly and fully.
@patrickbuick5459 exactly. State taskforce rescue teams do carry torches. But that's because they only respond to big events. And because 3/4 of the firefighters in the US are volunteers, they're just not gonna train with them. Even air chisels have become a thing of the past. Carbide tipped blades for every saw make it faster.
He could have rented it or bought it second hand and lots of newbies don't renew their out of state licenses in a timely manner, or they could live in one state and work in another. There are a lot of contractors here from out of state from the hurricane damage to fix up. All of our powerline repair guys on my street were contractors from Kansas.
Imagine you just get up to go to work and it maybe the last day in this world, there's no such thing as accidents it's always someone doing something stupid, unless you get a blown up tire and you loose control.
That’s absolutely terrible. I’m really sorry to hear about this. The roads are becoming very dangerous. I live in Denver and there are always fatal accidents on the news every week. Lots of pedestrians get killed in the city as well.
