I'm surprised they would post those photos knowing it was a fatal accident. I doubt the body had even been removed from the burning car (if in fact it was still in the car at all and not ejected) and no mention of the fatality in the write up.

Very sad. :huggy: for the families

Looking at the pictures though...........how would you begin to tell what type of vehicle it was?

It is very sad.

Yeah, I was VERY surprised they were posted. I'm sure they will probably remove them. Very graphic. Normally out of respect for families some fire depts don't post pics when there are fatalities

The accident was a fatal accident. Out of respect for the family of the deceased, the FD does not post pictures of the accident. Especially when the car is still on fire and the deceased may (or may not) still be in the vehicle. I think it could be very desturbing to some family members to see pictures of the vehicle their loved one was driving, on fire with them still in it.

This was on the 5:00 news tonight. Apparently the woman that was pushed into the line of the tractor-trailer (she was driving a neon) was a Social Worker visiting one of her clients. Very tragic. As of 5:00 no charges have been filed against the driver of the silver nissan that "didn't see the vehicle stopped to make a left". My opinion speed was a factor, but I do agree with beachcat that they should not have posted these pictures until the family was notified.

My prayers go out to everyone who was involved since they are all victims.

I don't see the Passenger vehicle(s) in these pics. That would be the ones they likely used discretion on.

Left hand side, second pic down. That's the car under the truck.
