My nephew is a first responder. While being immensely proud of his service, it has taken its toll. He has entered a ptsd healing center that is strictly for police and fire, 90 days. He has since decided to retire, we are all grateful for that difficult decision. It has saved his life ❤ He served for 20 years.
Thank you for this comment. I was a first responder ( flight/ER nurse and medic, and taught EMS.) Additionally, volunteered as a reserve deputy sheriff for four years. Since having been retired now, for over 17 years, l never dreamed that I would ever be watching these kind of videos ever again, but here I am. Even though, we become almost ‘inoculated ,’ to this kind of trauma, some responses stay with us forever. It was always hard to lose a patient, in our hands, but it was especially difficult when it came to children.
It must hard on them emotionally to do this. They’re professionals about their work when on duty. But they must leave with some sorrow after a scene like.
Telling or asking someone to stop drinking and driving is like asking a child not to eat the cookies sitting on the coffee table. He may look at you and promise he won't touch them,but as soon as you are gone,little hands reach for the cookies. When confronted they plead and cry and promise to never do it again,hoping that you will forgive them because they believe you should believe everything they say,when in fact they have no intention of keeping that promise. Drunk drivers are much the same,they don't think about circumstances or find it easier to lie by omission and deal with things later. Unfortunately that later usually comes as a result of an incident( refuse to call them accidents) severely injuring or killing someone. And when confronted they say I'm sorry, I'll never do it again in hopes that you believe them.
Nobody will stop until it happen to them ( a fatal crash or multiple DUI's lands them in prison ) I used to drink and drive & the real SCARY thing was , I would not drive drunk except when I was Blacked out & or went to sleep then awoke & drove recalling none of it . & Yes I did drive after a couple 2-3 beers many times . I quit drinking in 2003 & those blackouts really scared me .
Appreciate the videos that you put out as I'm quite sure they have made some people think and drive safe. I'm sure you probably have saved lives by showing these.
A Kia vs. a truck. My mother was killed almost 2 years ago by a drunk driver in a Dodge Ram, and she was the passenger in my brother's Kia Soul. She was 3 weeks away from her 93rd birthday. Needless to say, she didn't make it. These tiny cars like the tiny Chevys, Fords, Toyotas, etc.... are death traps.
Imagine driving a smart car???!!! It's suicide even if u hit a squirrel smh... I believe they r called smart cars anyways the 2 seater cars that r smaller then utvs... should be mandatory to wear helmets in em lol... but in all seriousness my suburban was hit by a semi on the interstate going 75ish mph hit on 3 side then the semi landed on it in the median (unfortunately the airbags didn't deploy) but my kids dad walked away and I know that if me and my kids were in it we would have all walked away as well I so wish I could afford a new one but ya know good ol joeflation... I also didn't know I could of fought the Total cuz it was amazing now it's a taxi in ny most likely nyc after getting fixed up like new...
Those little cars, regardless of how carefully they are driven, don't stand a chance against those high centered, full sized trucks with that massive kinetic energy and heavy body-on-frame build. On my way to school one day a hundred years ago on 494, I saw one of those (even smaller from the 90s) cars hit head on by a lifted suburban with a steel tube bull bar style front bumpers you bolt a winch onto and I'm not sure if any rust even flaked off of the giant rig but the car, I believe a Corolla like when they made a GEO from for Chevrolet, was completely smashed and UNDER the front and didn't even throw off the alignment as it was stopped from going further under by the dang solid front axle. Never driven anything smaller than a 4Runner rolling on 33"s although I did have an Astro van that I was aware of their rolling coffin reputation but drove only in SF at the time to and from a dog daycare I co-owned and to drop off a few client's dogs in the afternoon (rarely) on city street speed limits and freeway only in town that due to traffic never gets to a high speed. As slow as you have to go to not cause a crash, I never even felt unsafe in my wife's Honda Element but any road trips were taken in rental Tahoe's or F150s cause I never got that image out of my mind that happened when I wasn't even 16 yet. Drove a Chevy S-10 Blazer w the 4 speed manual and ugly base model hubcaps and remember feeling SO SMALL driving past that giant 'Burban
@Floydian4everr you are 100% correct. I drive an SUV with factory 19" tires and a heavy front end. I see these new "micro-cars" like the Leaf or Bolt on the freeway trying to do 70mph, and all I see is a coffin on wheels. I was a paramedic and firefighter years ago and saw horrible accidents between Suburban type vehicles and these tiny cars. I never purchased a "great gas mileage" vehicle after that. Even if you are doing 30mph and the other vehicle is doing 35mph (like the accident that killed my mother), you still have a 65mph impact. And if you're in an electric Chevy Bolt and are trapped, you will burn to death when the damaged battery catches fire.
DUI needs to be a 3rd degree felony for 1st offense with minimum mandatory prison term. Repeat offender? 2nd degree felony. 3rd time offender? 1st degree felony, life sentence. Someone dies? Automatic life felony regardless of 1st time, 2nd time, etc! The punishment has to HURT for it to be a deterrent! No more plea bargains, no more diversion programs!!!
In Houston, Harris County, these judges let DUI's out on $100.00 BONDS. Mark Herman Pct 4 posts them on his website. It's disgusting. LEO's work so hard keeping our streets safe only for them to get out with $10.00
It's all a kickback system. If you want to start a for sure money making business start a bail bond business. Almost everyone gets a bond set here in Texas. They will set bonds on people charged with murder.
I just commented this must be tough on you guys. When you’re on duty, you’re real professional. But it must hit you when you’re through and you go home knowing what you witnessed.
My prayers for tow truck drivers & first responders. Cant imagine the carnage they see up close & personal coming upon an auto accident. To see it in pictures is bad enough.
I can't believe the driver of the truck came out with only his foot and leg broken. From the look of the wreck it looked like it would have crushed his legs 😯

sometimes they don't.

@maureenfitzgerald1895 Ah . Thanks for the correction.. my ignorance is justified, in that i would never drive a vehicle like that, because of this reason shown in the video
I live in Albuquerque and the drunk drivers here cause way too many injuries and deaths. Lax laws only encourage drunks to keep driving while intoxicated. We have had some drunks with up to 15 DUIs! I am retired and stopped driving at night here years ago and am planning to move out of this city in the next year. Just so sad to see a video like this with all the carnage.
Too much alcohol will make you pass out whether you're driving or not. What a tough job for the first responders to have to deal with. Defund the police? I don't think so, give them a big raise and hire more.
@@cheesecakefan4880don’t know, it’s senseless. I lost a good friend to drunk driving. He was the one that was drunk. He got T-boned by a Semi Truck. Back 2016. Father of 2 girls. 😔
The severity of the collisions Scott Engle posts is unreal. My first thought is the speed limits are too high in Texas. However, I can't say I have seen many videos like these of collisions in other states.
The speed limits are the exact same as everywhere else in the country. Even so, what relevance do the numbers on a road sign have if the driver ignores them? It will be ugly when two cars collide head-on under any set of circumstances. You probably set your cruise control to 65 in the left lane on the highway.
@@robertfischer5893 You are so wrong in your assumption it is kinda funny. My hobby is road racing my Porsche. When I am trailering my race car to the track I travel close to the speed limit but stay in the RIGHT lane.
@@robertfischer5893 When I raced at COTA (look it up) if I recall correctly the speed limit near there was 80. My state has no 80 mph speed limit anywhere.
@@davidhurt1579 "My hobby is road racing my Porsche. When I am trailering my race car to the track......." No one cares. The 80mph speed limits are posted on desolate stretches of divided highway - not on urban or residential streets. Speed limits are set by conducting engineering speed studies and abiding the manual on uniform traffic control devices (look it up). Next time you're dragging your volkswagen to roleplay racecar driver give it some thought.
It's unbelievable to realize the catastrophic destruction that can occur in car accidents until you actually see them.. I grew up in the early 80s, and watched all the movies from the state highway patrol in Ohio about accidents, "Blood on the Highways" and "Mechanized Death". These movies need to be shown again to teens and anyone seeking a license.
Every year, every driver should have to spend minimum 4 hours watching shows sbout drivers under the influence, whether it be alcohol or drugs. Focus on showing cars mangled and the bereaved familys standing around a graveside weeping & mourning their deceased loved one who was either the driver under the influence or the victim who was killed by a driver under the influence.
I learned recently that some people literally can not learn. They are unable. The more they drink, the more they think they are just fine to drive. Just the way they are wired, unfortunately.
EVERY Single time I am driving on a two lane highway, I Think about "That" oncoming vehicle that is separated from my vehicle by an Imaginary barrier. YOU May be a Good Law abiding citizen but, If it's Your Time.......(when you get behind the wheel, It's a chance you take)
I was a Chaplain for two different Law Enforcement Agencies for a total of 26 years. I was called to many scenes such as this. They were difficult, but suicides and homicides were much worse. The hardest part is going to notify family. Imagine coming to the door of a stranger at 3 a.m. to tell them that their 16 year old daughter was killed in a car accident.
I know what its like. My 16 yr old sister got in the car with her boyfriend. He had been drinking and decided to drag race. Stupid idea on a sleety winter night in Cleveland. Two died. But not the driver. No that drunk went on, got married, had kids. Didnt even lose his license. It destroyed my family. Ive missed her every day. BTW Joe Biden doesnt think drunk driving should be harsher than a ticket offense. He said so.
My 16 year old son was killed in an accident almost 40 years ago. I have never gotten over it but I’ve learned to live with it and without him. It changed my life and that of his dad and siblings. I think of him every day and can still tear up with a poignant memory.
I took Drivers Ed in 10th grade in the 80's. We had units on DUI and driving distracted, but I don't remember being shown a video of a fatal collision like this one. I know it's the sort of footage I would never forget. I don't know if Drivers Ed is still a required high school course, or whether the present concern over children's slightest sensitivities would mean fatal crashes could even BE shown anymore- but I think they should be. DUI and texting while driving can destroy life in seconds. New drivers should realize driving is a huge responsibility- and a privilege that can be revoked- and safe habits instilled early might reduce tragedies like these.
Drivers Ed should be a required course for every student. Back when I was in high school, eons ago, we had Drivers Ed & saw photos of wrecked cars and dead bodys hanging out of the windows, etc.
@@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354 A Shattered Pelvis for an 81 y/o could mean death & if not years or the rest of their life in pain & recovery . I pray for that person also .
And I’m guessing the driver killed in the Soul was the mother of three who will unfortunately grow up without her. That’s horrible. I’ll never understand people’s decisions.
Oh please stop with the nonsense. People like you are the reason things like this happen. Always looking to place blame/responsibility of your actions on others. I bet the folks who get your vote also contribute to this but yet like a typical sheep you blindly support them. Sickening.
When parents start teaching their kids to be RESPONSIBLE from the time they are toddlers, the country an heal. Blaming the entertainment industry is the most lame excuse for poor parenting I have ever heard. Good grief. If you are not going to teach your kids responsibility, stop having sex which leads to kids which leads to bad parenting.
I wasn't there and wouldn't know beans from potatoes about the details of the crash but I highly doubt the pickup driver was intoxicated. It seems as though he had an 81 year old passenger with him and he's not the one who crossed the center line to cause the crash. Driver of the car ended up under the car according to the description exactly where they should have ended up.
I've known alcoholics that are drunk all the time, and they are always the driver. They had no second thoughts driving their kids, wife, or other family members.
Pretty sure I heard it had the most drunk drivers in the country. I heard that statistic a few years ago…..wether it’s true or not I’m not sure but either way it’s really bad here.
but what COULD stop is continuing to let companies get away with 40 mph testing, instead of mandating bones as thick as volvo & german brands that actually care about highway worthiness
I would not like to meet God drunk ..Would not want the gamble of going to hell ….Christian values Mon-Friday ..But going to church with a Saturday night head ..God sees who we are even when the public doesn’t ❤
They should show these videos to high school students. This is what happens when they party and drive with disregard to others whose lives are cut short or ended in one careless, or distracted moment
@@cherylvisconti Without blurring out the gory details? Hope so. Kids need to see the real thing as it has happened. When I was in high school, they did show the real wrecks with the real bodies in their actual conditions. No blurring out. We saw it ALL!
The government wants people to have alcohol disease so they'll die. And they know it causes deaths from driving. So to me it's still legal for depopulation reasons!!
All vehicles are made to crumple on impact. Open the hood of your car or truck and look at the impressions along the tops of the fenders, those are crumple zones. The frame has the same weak zones purposefully built into it. My old 1969 C-10 would would have obliterated both of those vehicles but I'm not sure I would have fared better. Crumple zones on new vehicles absorb most of the impact where an older solid framed vehicle it wouldn't absorb anything, not to mention having no air bags.
Was the 81-year-old passenger in the front seat of that truck and the uninjured female in the back? Seems it should be so, since the rear compartment appears to only be minimally damaged.
Looks like a damn soda can ripped apart, you just never know when it’s your time, driving in the middle of a conversation jamming out to your favorite song making plans for tomorrow and boom, snap of a finger it’s all over. Then nothingness for ever. Going to sleep for ever with no dream, that is death.

I'm pretty sure a phone had something to do with it...allegedly.
They named the car right. KIA soul... your soul leaves the car before your body
Actually it’s a SOL - for sun.
Wow that sent chills over me
@maureenfitzgerald1895 Ah . Thanks for the correction.. my ignorance is justified, in that i would never drive a vehicle like that, because of this reason shown in the video
@@maureenfitzgerald1895 it's written as Soul on the car.
I live in Albuquerque and the drunk drivers here cause way too many injuries and deaths. Lax laws only encourage drunks to keep driving while intoxicated. We have had some drunks with up to 15 DUIs! I am retired and stopped driving at night here years ago and am planning to move out of this city in the next year. Just so sad to see a video like this with all the carnage.
That's right, everyone get drunk and get behind the wheel. So fun! Ugh.
this time both vehicles had drunks behind the wheel
Stay off the roads from 12 am to 5 am. Bars close at 2 am.
4 in NY
God Bless our first responders they have so much tragedy to go through everyday with doing this kind of job.
This is why what the SIMMONS 3 family is doing is so important.
Absolutely!!! #Simmons3
Say more!
Yes ❤🥺🙏
so scary I am scared to go anywhere,prayers the the injured,and the responders.
Man, this was a nasty wreck. Praying for all involved.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Worked EMS in my younger days (69 now) saw this all of the time. and A.H. still drive drink and murder! Never drive Kia Soul's coffins on wheels
Thank you for your service. Indeed, it is MURDER!
How did this happen?? Many thanks and prayers to LE, Medics and Firefighters. Lord, please be with the families of these victims.❤️🙏
The description of the accident is under the title
Just scroll down😢
Drinking/drunk and driving.
@@billstill1794OMG
I am shocked a Kia Soul can utterly destroy a 3/4 Ton HD crew cab like that.
You must not know much about basic physics then 😂
@@Nightrunnergunner Admittedly I do not.
it wouldn't have happened to a ford super duty (at average 60ish, nothing crazy like 90) they have more resistance.
Kia looked about a foot or two crushed inwards. Kia looks a lot worse off.
@@gabesmath105trucks are higher than cars so trucks usually come out better in a wreck. Plus it’s frame against unibody.
Fantastic reporting Scott, you’re the best!
Prayers
This is what they need to be showing in drivers ed, slow down yall
Too much alcohol will make you pass out whether you're driving or not. What a tough job for the first responders to have to deal with. Defund the police? I don't think so, give them a big raise and hire more.
Why the heck do so many ppl STILL DRINK AND DRIVE?😤😖😣😭
@@cheesecakefan4880don’t know, it’s senseless. I lost a good friend to drunk driving. He was the one that was drunk. He got T-boned by a Semi Truck. Back 2016. Father of 2 girls. 😔
@@cheesecakefan4880 It's an evil and controlling addiction, they can't stop... but if they are smart enough, they will get help.
Sometimes you don't get probation.
its shocking to be working at this ,, those men there have a terrible job looking at people killed and severly cut up and killed , its so sad
The severity of the collisions Scott Engle posts is unreal. My first thought is the speed limits are too high in Texas. However, I can't say I have seen many videos like these of collisions in other states.
The speed limits are the exact same as everywhere else in the country. Even so, what relevance do the numbers on a road sign have if the driver ignores them? It will be ugly when two cars collide head-on under any set of circumstances. You probably set your cruise control to 65 in the left lane on the highway.
@@robertfischer5893 You are so wrong in your assumption it is kinda funny. My hobby is road racing my Porsche. When I am trailering my race car to the track I travel close to the speed limit but stay in the RIGHT lane.
@@robertfischer5893 When I raced at COTA (look it up) if I recall correctly the speed limit near there was 80. My state has no 80 mph speed limit anywhere.
@@davidhurt1579 "My hobby is road racing my Porsche. When I am trailering my race car to the track......."
No one cares.
The 80mph speed limits are posted on desolate stretches of divided highway - not on urban or residential streets. Speed limits are set by conducting engineering speed studies and abiding the manual on uniform traffic control devices (look it up).
Next time you're dragging your volkswagen to roleplay racecar driver give it some thought.
@@robertfischer5893 You must be a really smart fellow. Thanks for educating me.
It's unbelievable to realize the catastrophic destruction that can occur in car accidents until you actually see them.. I grew up in the early 80s, and watched all the movies from the state highway patrol in Ohio about accidents, "Blood on the Highways" and "Mechanized Death". These movies need to be shown again to teens and anyone seeking a license.
Every year, every driver should have to spend minimum 4 hours watching shows sbout drivers under the influence, whether it be alcohol or drugs. Focus on showing cars mangled and the bereaved familys standing around a graveside weeping & mourning their deceased loved one who was either the driver under the influence or the victim who was killed by a driver under the influence.
I learned recently that some people literally can not learn. They are unable. The more they drink, the more they think they are just fine to drive. Just the way they are wired, unfortunately.
And this is a 4 lane highway? Such a senseless tragedy! Prayers for the deceased, family and first responders!🙏🕊️
undivided highways are genocide. just as much as letting companies keep getting away with 40 mph testing
Right!
EVERY Single time I am driving on a two lane highway, I Think about "That" oncoming vehicle that
is separated from my vehicle by an Imaginary barrier. YOU May be a Good Law abiding citizen but,
If it's Your Time.......(when you get behind the wheel, It's a chance you take)
There is NOTHING in the ENTIRE WORLD that is important enough to make a person drive that crazy. There just isnt.
I was a Chaplain for two different Law Enforcement Agencies for a total of 26 years. I was called to many scenes such as this. They were difficult, but suicides and homicides were much worse. The hardest part is going to notify family. Imagine coming to the door of a stranger at 3 a.m. to tell them that their 16 year old daughter was killed in a car accident.
I know what its like. My 16 yr old sister got in the car with her boyfriend. He had been drinking and decided to drag race. Stupid idea on a sleety winter night in Cleveland. Two died. But not the driver. No that drunk went on, got married, had kids. Didnt even lose his license. It destroyed my family. Ive missed her every day. BTW Joe Biden doesnt think drunk driving should be harsher than a ticket offense. He said so.
@@queenbee3647I’m so sorry for your terrible loss thinking of youxx🕊️🙏🏻
My 16 year old son was killed in an accident almost 40 years ago. I have never gotten over it but I’ve learned to live with it and without him. It changed my life and that of his dad and siblings. I think of him every day and can still tear up with a poignant memory.
@@Serene3574 so sorry thinking of you and your family🕊️🙏🏻x
I took Drivers Ed in 10th grade in the 80's. We had units on DUI and driving distracted, but I don't remember being shown a video of a fatal collision like this one. I know it's the sort of footage I would never forget. I don't know if Drivers Ed is still a required high school course, or whether the present concern over children's slightest sensitivities would mean fatal crashes could even BE shown anymore- but I think they should be. DUI and texting while driving can destroy life in seconds. New drivers should realize driving is a huge responsibility- and a privilege that can be revoked- and safe habits instilled early might reduce tragedies like these.
Drivers Ed should be a required course for every student. Back when I was in high school, eons ago, we had Drivers Ed & saw photos of wrecked cars and dead bodys hanging out of the windows, etc.
This is horrible for everyone involved. My deepest condolences & prayers for you all.
At least two drunks and not innocent people
The 81 year old passenger was innocent 🤷 They ended up with a shattered pelvis and in critical condition.
@@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354 innocent? They willingly got into a car being driven by a drunk.
@@MrDejast- YOU DON'T KNOW THEY KNEW THE DRIVER WAS DRINKING/DRUNK!!!!
@@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354 A Shattered Pelvis for an 81 y/o could mean death & if not years or the rest of their life in pain & recovery . I pray for that person also .
Amen to that
And I’m guessing the driver killed in the Soul was the mother of three who will unfortunately grow up without her. That’s horrible. I’ll never understand people’s decisions.
Damn!! Both drivers drunk😬🤦♀️
Horrible accident, so sad 😢
Man that's one hell of a mess.
Well, I feel my insurance going up for the next 6 months 😩😡😩😡
At least no children were involved. Prayers for the 81 year old.
When the entertainment industry stop encouraging dangerous and criminal behavior, our country can heal.😢
💯 agreed...car/truck ads glorify speed...movies glorify reckless/speeding like it's cool"
Oh please stop with the nonsense. People like you are the reason things like this happen. Always looking to place blame/responsibility of your actions on others.
I bet the folks who get your vote also contribute to this but yet like a typical sheep you blindly support them. Sickening.
How about some personal responsibility? You maga creeps blame everyone else and take no responsibility.
When parents start teaching their kids to be RESPONSIBLE from the time they are toddlers, the country an heal. Blaming the entertainment industry is the most lame excuse for poor parenting I have ever heard. Good grief. If you are not going to teach your kids responsibility, stop having sex which leads to kids which leads to bad parenting.
@@HappyTexan you are right, but who is teaching good parenting, apparently not parents but Hollywood.
Devastating.
I wasn't there and wouldn't know beans from potatoes about the details of the crash but I highly doubt the pickup driver was intoxicated. It seems as though he had an 81 year old passenger with him and he's not the one who crossed the center line to cause the crash. Driver of the car ended up under the car according to the description exactly where they should have ended up.
I've known alcoholics that are drunk all the time, and they are always the driver. They had no second thoughts driving their kids, wife, or other family members.
@@dmreddragon6 you do have a point and that could very well be the case here although from the description it's hard to believe.
@@dmreddragon6the functioning alcoholic eh... ya but even they know when not to drive...
Anyone know if the 81-year-old critical passenger with the shattered pelvis survived?
Montgomery county must be the most danger county in Texas due to drunk drivers.
How would one know that stat ?
Prove it
Pretty sure I heard it had the most drunk drivers in the country. I heard that statistic a few years ago…..wether it’s true or not I’m not sure but either way it’s really bad here.
Harris County is. I think it leads the nation.
No, Harris County IS the #1 deadliest county in the nation. All the dui accidents that happen.
I guess big cars are still safer than small cars. That still hasn’t changed
Drunk driving will never stop
I agree , as we are all human & make dumb choices ; too bad many are fatal ones .
but what COULD stop is continuing to let companies get away with 40 mph testing, instead of mandating bones as thick as volvo & german brands that actually care about highway worthiness
Prayers for the family of the one that passed away in this senseless tragedy 🙏
I would not like to meet God drunk ..Would not want the gamble of going to hell ….Christian values Mon-Friday ..But going to church with a Saturday night head ..God sees who we are even when the public doesn’t ❤
Lmmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They should show these videos to high school students. This is what happens when they party and drive with disregard to others whose lives are cut short or ended in one careless, or distracted moment
They do. MADD started in Texas. They’ve been showing horrible drunken car wrecks for at least 40 years.
@@cherylvisconti Without blurring out the gory details? Hope so. Kids need to see the real thing as it has happened. When I was in high school, they did show the real wrecks with the real bodies in their actual conditions. No blurring out. We saw it ALL!
@@jrnfw4060 yes!!!! Absolutely they do!!! Every.prom.season!
They need to lower the speed limit nation wide!
What make the speed 20 mph on freeways ? That wont help. Put more autos with breathalyzers as a way of the car starting.
Alcohol is the deadliest drug in the US and yet it's legal 😮😮😮
No it’s not the deadliest by any means.
@@user-peach408YES IT IS! It is the cause of more accidents and homicides than ANY other drug!
@@user-peach408 WHAT IS????
The government wants people to have alcohol disease so they'll die. And they know it causes deaths from driving. So to me it's still legal for depopulation reasons!!
It’s not. A drug
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
It’s insane…..cars are definitely weapons.
Mama Mia, Look at that KIA.
Officer said the red car reeked like alcohol , sad 😔 also had paper tags on it ,probably 30 day tags. Devastating at the least.
Wow DUI with both drivers.
No, in Texas when you drink and drive it's DWI not DUI
How tremendously tragic. These accidents happen so quickly.
RIP to those who died, except for the person that caused the accident.
Rest in peace🙏🏻
So sad!!!!! When will people learn!!!!!
Where is ejected person?
How about blessing those that's been in accident 😔
May the families find peace god bless theam
Them little cars are good for gas mileage, but not for surviving an accident
@@mjsz2842 That heavy duty truck didn’t fare so well either.
@@jimapplegate3523 But the driver and passenger survived!
A lot of them are little more than over sized tin cans.
All vehicles are made to crumple on impact. Open the hood of your car or truck and look at the impressions along the tops of the fenders, those are crumple zones. The frame has the same weak zones purposefully built into it. My old 1969 C-10 would would have obliterated both of those vehicles but I'm not sure I would have fared better. Crumple zones on new vehicles absorb most of the impact where an older solid framed vehicle it wouldn't absorb anything, not to mention having no air bags.
@@MA-iv7olinteresting..I had no idea.
The energy that occurred in this crash was likely not even able to be calculated.
That KIA was bought at a copart auction earlier this year for $925 Salvage title.
And now it is salvage again. But now it ain't comin back.
The owner saved a lot of money on the car to spend at the bar. 🤣😂🤣😂
Je présente mes condoléances à la famille et aux proches, que dieu les bénisse 😢.
The number of accidents and fatalities on this road is out of control. I see all kinds of stupid drivers day or night on this road.
Perfect example of drinking and driving.
Be careful, and drive safely.

My condolences to the families. Stop getting fooled by your times people. Get back to nature.
Was the 81-year-old passenger in the front seat of that truck and the uninjured female in the back? Seems it should be so, since the rear compartment appears to only be minimally damaged.
Bless these people and family's FATHER!
Oh man. 😢😔RIP 💔
how the hell did he end up in the backseat ?
Sad situation. RIP 🙏🏻
Looks like a damn soda can ripped apart, you just never know when it’s your time, driving in the middle of a conversation jamming out to your favorite song making plans for tomorrow and boom, snap of a finger it’s all over. Then nothingness for ever. Going to sleep for ever with no dream, that is death.
Just an obscure point: In these fatal collisions, the driver's seat always seems intact. Weird!
