I've been down to the station a couple times now. I knew Dave,,and he will be sorely missed. I've been a paid firefighter going on 30 years now. Burying one of our own is never easy. RIP Dave,,,,and Godspeed to all our emergency responders.

What a mess. I wonder if the guy in the Jeep fell asleep? A good warning to us all to keep one eye on the other lane.

What a mess. I wonder if the guy in the Jeep fell asleep? A good warning to us all to keep one eye on the other lane. That's what I was thinking too. Isn't the speed limit 45 (definitely no faster than 55) there as well? I admittedly don't know a lot about physics (just took the 2 basic science major physics courses to get my biology degree), but wouldn't both vehicles have to be going faster than 45 in order to cause the deaths of both of the drivers of the vehicles? I did read that the ambulance was not in emergency mode. Maybe it was just a matter of where the oncoming car hit the ambulance. Very, very sad. |

Even if both vehicle were doing 45, the combined force is 90 mph, which more than enough to kill someone from impact alone. Throw in the trauma from external injuries from the wreckage and I can see how the death happened.
Still doesn't make it easier to understand though........
