090812 CONROE HEAD ON ACCIDENT FATAL

[@froggyrorz3989]

I'm not gonna lie, this freaked me out. I had a 98' Tacoma this same color and I almost caused a head on collision by falling asleep at the wheel. Luckily I woke up just in time to swerve out of the path of a brand new Escalade. Be careful driving, I pay way more attention now and don't ever drive unless I'm 150% alert.

[@allisonemery683]

FroggyRorz you were very lucky. It almost happened to me. People just don’t pay attention or listen! Scary.

[@bbednorz319]

FroggyRorz Glad you woke up, you would have been the loser in that fight!

[@cynwashere6940]

Omgosh, someone's loved one is trapped in a car but dead. So sad

[@cynwashere6940]

How eerie to pull up to that and see your loved one mangled in a vehicle and all ambulances and drivers of other vehicles are gone....that would be traumatic. I just couldn't handle it. This stuff needs to be seen by all, especially people who drive while text/talking on phone,drive under influence,drive with little or no sleep,fight and argue,speed,or dont speed but are in a hurry,run red lights and finally don't drive defensivley. We get comfortable and drive the same routes over and over and really need a good reminder from time to time of how dangerous driving can be.

[@starriderkittykat9064]

I live in agony for the last 25 years because of someone on there phone when they first came out,It was a new toy!! hit the vehicle I was in head-on and just had two spinal surgeries recently and I'm in more pain and when I started..The domino effect it has had on my life is unbelievable!!

I agree, i used to operate a wrecker for a living, and had to climb into cars with bodies still crumpled inside to hook up and drag the vehicle out of a ditch or off a pole to extricate the bodies.

Hand position is irrelevant. Proper observation is always the key. Always have an escape route. I’ve been driving for 36 years now and have avoided two head ones just by being switched on.
