3 killed in crash

Car runs into parked SUV..... 3 killed.

What the news fails to report is the fact the car ran into a A PARKED EXCURSION! Sad.

This media outlet has identified the parked vehicle as a 2002 Excursion.

Were they high, stupid or not paying attention? An Excursion is kind of hard to not see just sitting there not moving.

Dunno. None of the stories I can find go into details. I would assume it almost had to include speed in order to kill 3 people, especially the girl in the back seat.

I am stunned how the media does this !!!
especially the prompting by the stupid 'interviewer' ....

How strange is it to see the sister's interview with NO remorse, NO sadness !!!

THAT is what is sickest to me.... you don't want to record me after the loss of a loved one.....



Surprised they didn't blame the Excursion for being there !!!

Saw this story in the news yesterday. Not many details. Guess their car was mostly plastic, alcohol or drugs involved or no seatbelts in use.

Actually, you can hear her getting choked up in the last few seconds of the interview when they are showing just pictures while she is talking. I believe she was holding it back for the interview.

i don't wish the death of a family member on any one, nor do i try and judge about what they were doing to wreck. if other influences were a factor, that is disheartening to hear.

as for them hitting the EX, like i stated to a nicer middle aged lady at the gas pump the other day who JUST traded her burban on a "cash for clunkers" deal (and stated that my Ex would be a good canidate for that deal)......... i don't care how many air bags you have....... 5, 8, 12, 50....... that 2500lb rollerskate is at a physical disadvantage no matter what speed compared to an almost 8000lb projectile........ so carry our kids with confidence that all those air bags save you if you ever get in a wreck....... while i'll hope that i don't have to re-polish my bumper after totaling your car........ *end conversation with a VERY VERY dirty look*

with an undisclosed speed we can all speculate, but to kill 3, the speed was up there, now if they would have hit another "smart car" or mini-cooper, maybe they would be in ICU right now........but weight has safety advantages, moving or parked!

They could have made all the cars the same size but it is just the way it is. If you want added wreck safety insurance, buy a bigger car.

They were probably going too fast and lost control but who hasn't gone too fast. I should have been dead a long time ago but I made it past my motorcyle (and car) street racing days somehow.

"Authorities say Coffman was driving the vehicle when it left the road, went about 500 feet and then hit the parked car."

How do you go 500 feet off the road and hit a parked car? Must have been doing something stupid.
