Also, no pics yet of the vehicles involved in the crash. Unusual.

stretch super limos are not safe.

Never have been. They are for parading through town.

Not for travel.

I remember the large limos of the past.

Well built tanks.

Family used to limo to the airport and the ships.

Some white vehicle is off the road, perhaps waiting for them getting it on the road. It is pictured, barely visible, on edge in a picture or two.

Don’t waste time or bandwidth on the Link to “Raw Video of Crash Scene” all it shows is 00:43 of Emergency Responders Flashing Lights.

Website Counter Clickbait.

I could not disagree more. I think traffic circles are vastly superior to traffic lights in a large number of situations. They are all over the UK with no apparent problems

Here's a bit of trivia I never knew until today. He was drafted 221st by the Red Wings in the 1989 NHL entry draft along with Nicklas Lidstrom (3rd round #53) who was only 18 at the time and Sergei Federov (age 19) 74th in the fourth round. Both who are now NHL Hall of Famers......There's a good chance Konstantinov would have been a Hall of Famer too.

That draft was perhaps the best in the history of not only hockey, but all the major sports.

I posted a pic of the 2nd vehicle involved. 18 people reportedly died in the stretch limo. They probably can't show that one.

Same here. It's not far from Howe Caverns. Interesting, because people do get married in the cavern.
