Re: Fatal Classic Car Accident
Last Thursday I had to help cut a 43 year old man out of his truck and another very seriously injured man from his SUV after he slammed the pickup head on at a combined speed of 120 mph while not paying attention. I felt pretty safe in my 1 ton Dually until I saw what can really happen if hit in the wrong place. You could not see daylight looking through the drivers door of the deceased man's truck and the engine was nearly besides him.
The victim left a wife and two young kids without a husband or dad because someone else was potentially careless. We were on scene for over 8 hours but so far joining the Volunteer Fire Department has been anything but boring. At least it is very rewarding. People need to be more careful!

Re: Fatal Classic Car Accident
WOW! That happened in Pa, I think by the 570 area code? I guess I have to watch that I don't get hit in the hind end. That is horrible. Ultimate fear of a car crash! Sorry to the family.

Re: Fatal Classic Car Accident
Must have hit the rear gas tank and ignited.
I lost my brother in law to an auto accident a few years ago. All it takes is just a split second and then it happens. We were coming home from camping this weekend and some young lady was texting when I was turning left. She did not stop at her stop sign and I barely missed her. I asked my wife what the heck was that and she said that she saw her texting on her phone as she ran passed the stop sign. Sorry to hear this news. Sad.

Re: Fatal Classic Car Accident
Driver who caused the crash was a 77 year old female.. I'm sorry, but you see more and more elderly people involved in crashes. I think once you hit a certain age the driving requirements should become more stringent and it should be mandatory that you pass another test or your license should be taken away!! There are too many elderly people that should not be on the roadways.
I have nothing against the elderly and some are fantastic drivers, but there are some that just have no business driving and are literally a moving "time bomb" waiting to injury or kill themselves or someone else.. I ride a motorcycle and see this quite often.. Driving is a privilege not a right..... Rich

[/ QUOTE ] I think a lot of people feel safe in big trucks, by the way they drive them, but I've seen some horrific crashes over the years. This one was a couple of years ago when I was coming south from Fort McMurray, Ab. A 1 ton dually, and a 3/4 ton met coming in opposite directions. The Dually had a pallet of bags of cement, and was towing a trailer loaded with insulation on an icy road when a crosswind caught them by surprise. The pickup T-boned the Dually, and this was the result. 2 dead and 4 critically injured. You'll notice the bed on the Dually is flat upside down, and the front is on it's side. The frame twisted that much.

Re: Fatal Classic Car Accident
They are very sad pics...
We in Germany here have the same "Problem" with elderly people in traffic... And please note: - all Roads are cramped and smaller here like yours - the Speed is higher (some roads have no speed limit!) - the whole traffic are more stressful then yours But no way! You can drive your car till you fall out of it in case of... whatever... The sad true: I mostly times of the accidents, the perpetrator has got an injury, the involveds are dead...  Look at this...
