Murphy's Law, as applied to auto accidents: The one who probably deserved to die... didn't.

Default Clarification on yesterday's post...circumstances of accident bad news for us all...

Car with blown tire was NOT an SUV as I reported. Vehicle was a Honda sedan driven at extreme rate of speed when rear tire blew. Driver lost control and went airborne and struck van at quarter angle at driver's shoulder killing 3 souls on driver side of van. Top and driver side sheet metal was completely peeled away.

A 35 year old guy speeding in a Honda!!! He survived. Cops said driver of Honda should not have lost control in such a manner unless he was traveling at extreme rate of speed.

Our biggest nightmare. I'm just plain a$$ disgusted.

Default That is really a shame! I don't know that it was the case but I wonder how the Honda was maintained

..and if the tire was worn and under inflated?
