    One of the first things my dad taught me driving was just because you have the right of way doesn’t mean you get it.

    I can only guess it was the Tacoma driver that died, seems to be driver's position would've taken the brunt of that douchebag light runner. Terrible stuff.


    On a brighter note, shoutout to the 1st gen red Taco at the end.

    Sad, innocent Tacoma driver probably lost their life and several others injured because someone was in too much of a hurry.

    Holy shit. Impossible to tell what kind of car that is, both before and after at the wreckage. I think the speeder may have died, they got the brunt of the impact.

    I’m betting on the taco driver not surviving. Side impact has much less protection than front impact.

    <edit>. Well maybe not. In slow review it looks like the incoming vehicle might have hit behind the front door. Maybe it’s down to who lost their life to the fire.

    The press release says they "succumbed to injuries sustained as a result of the collision." not the fire.
