That just sent some serious chills through my body. In 1997 my family was involved in a wreck similar to that one in Little Rock, Arkansas on I-40 right in front of J.B. Hunt Trucking.

They were sitting in traffic behind a 18-wheeler and a lady in a Jeep Wrangler was behind them. Another 18-wheeler came up behind the Jeep Wrangler and slammed into the back of it. They estimated impact at 70 miles per hour and there were no skidmarks or an attempt the truck driver tried to stop.

My uncle, who was a truck driver for Pepsi, had the van parked over in the break-down lane incase something like that would happen so they wouldn't have a direct impact with the truck in front of them. He'd seen one too many wrecks on his late night drives.

So the 18-wheeler that hit the Jeep slammed into my Uncle's van and sent them into the 18-wheeler in front of them and how they were sitting sent them airborne and they landed on the roof about 500 feet away. The lady in the Jeep got trapped underneath the one 18-wheeler much like that Subrau and burned to death.

Luckily, everyone in my family survived the intial wreck. They were all hospitalized. Oddily enough, my cousin Aletha, who was sleeping the back without a seatbelt was the least injured. My cousin Jason was in the front passenger seat and when the van landed back on the ground his hand was trapped between the side door and the pavement and did some serious damage. Thankfully, due to advancements in medicine and that such thing, he had a lot of skin graphing done to make his hand look perfectly fine again. My Uncle's girlfriend and my 80-year old Aunt were both sitting in the middle of the van and there seats both broke and they ended up in the front also and suffered a lot of brusies. My aunt had both her ribs broken, both legs, and both arms broken. She was only about 4"3" and probably not even 110lbs.

Everyone survived, expect my aunt. She stayed in the hospital for about 3-4 months and then finally passed away. My cousin Jason now has a fear of driving. Sometimes he can drive, sometimes he can't. Other than that, everyone was really lucky! That wreck made front page of the Little Rock newspaper. Nothing like seeing your 80-year old aunt laid out on I-40 in a strecher.

Sorry for being so long and off-topic (well, not really that off-topic) but that was just a like flashback from hell of what my family dealth with.

good lord. someone was definitely watching out for that guy.

[KissMyEgo]

Holy crap. Looking at that wreck, it's amazing that anyone could have come out of there unharmed. That guy sure has a horseshoe up his ass.

[lostalgic-s]

That's amazing, it's no wonder Subaru is almost always number one when it comes to safety ratings. :clap:
