Speeding like crazy Many more will die this summer Young people driving like crazy

@puchuchunga1 I agree with you. They think speeding is a joke itโ€™s not.

We were changing our tire on the side of the highway about 1/4 mile before this. Dangerous place, but nowhere else to do it. I had my girlfriend keep watch for erratic drivers while I was under the truck. 30 minutes of that insane traffic whizzing by. Plenty of assholes racing, passing in the right lane inches from us. This BMW must have passed us (though I didnโ€™t see it) just as I was finishing the last few lug nuts. Two minutes after we pulled back into traffic we were caught in the slowdown. A few minutes after that, came on this scene. It must have just happened. Lots of good people pulled over and directing traffic.

@p0929 they were 100% going 130mph which is how they slammed into the truck. This info comes directly from the responders at scene.

The comments are all over the places in here. Just as I expected. Ill just say two things, 1st, if you are REALLY a family member of the deceased why are you in these bum ass comments on a lame app, GO GRIEVE WITH YOUR FAMILY..SMH. 2ND, a few people mentioning that speeding was not a factor, are you serious?? Look at the damn level of destruction of the vehicle, plus we have ALL been on the road when some meathead in an BMW comes flying out of nowhere trying to get around us and then zooms off when they do. Yes its sad that people died but grow up and be serious about what we ALL know happened here. The condition of the car tells us EVERYTHING we need to know. Anyway RIP.

About time someone tells it like it is instead of trying to sugar coat what happened.

So sorry for this 2 families ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐ŸปRIP guys... please people drive safe this summer. Sometimes I scared and move by the side and let them to pass because they came like crazy. They don't care if you have a child sign in the back or not they just speeding for fun.
