Just drove by there, 235 is closed in both directions

Will be closed down for a while. They are landing helos on 235, first helo getting ready to take off, 2nd one getting ready to land.
Thoughts are with the accident victims.

I think, maybe, a fundamental lack of commitment to being responsible for one's actions, as if all of life is a video game, and when it's not, mommy or daddy will make it all better just-in-time. SMFers

Don't let friends or family drive Ford Focus'. Look at the front of the Durango compared to the focus, NOT a safe car...

Or maybe don't let them drive until they know how to do it responsibly.

Bob, I dont know, that little car took something twice it size to the door, and it appears that all the occupants will live. Dont know, but if the SUV was on 235, figure a 50-60mph impact speed. Side curtain airbags aapear to have done they job.

Only so much a car can do when over 4,000lbs impacts at speed. I would venture to say a larger car without the side airbags, the driver (I'm assuming Dad) would be dead at impact. And RR, the Focus driver was just driving, the SUV driver admitted falling asleep at the wheel.

Driver passed away up at Baltimore Shock Trauma yesterday.

Durango hit the Focus at full speed. Side impact air bags can only do so much.

What another nightmare......way too many lately around here! My God, if you're that tired you should not be driving. It's no less dangerous than driving drunk. Pull over somewhere and sleep!

T&P to that poor family and their loved ones. Yet again, it's the innocent people that suffer. :bawl:
