Safe on the roads?

[PKNY1]

Anytime I get called to a fatal accident, I jump online and plead for a little more traffic safety in folks.. Dunno why, but I do know that when we don't see what can happen out there, we tend to be more care-free with our driving. I figure posting these pics may slow a few of us down, if only for the next two days, it might be enough to save a life.

Here's the first fatal accident of 2014 for me:

The car there used to be a Prius.

(removed last picture of totaled 740iL because it was HUGE)

I have so many comments about the Prius and most Prius drivers but this is not the place to make that joke out of respect for the dead.

This did just add another reason to the never ending list of why I would never in my life drive a Prius though. Such a junkbox.

Saddened by the loss of life. I've worked a few fatals and they stick with you.

On a side note you guys need to get a Stihl power broom. Makes life easy and you can charge $$$.

Wow... thats insane.
Back when my buddy was a emt/firefighter he was called to a major bus accident where it over turned and he was one of the first to arrive on the scene. He said there were body parts, people screaming, I just cant imagine you know. Im sure it does stick in your mind seeing things like that. Its crazy.

Wow that's nuts. We have to keep our eyes on the road and assume that no one else on the road knows how to drive and is not paying attention. Stay safe.
Thanks for sharing
