Two people die in horrendous car accident
Posted: 11/23/2005 10:27 pm


It is not yet known if weather was the cause of the accident

Niles, MI - A deadly crash occurred Wednesday night near the Indiana/Michigan state line, on south 11th Street in Niles, just north of State Road 933. Two people died in a violent crash that left the cars completely mangled.

At least three other people were hurt.

One car ended up in a building, another smashed up like an accordion.

One witness we spoke to was amazed that anyone was able to walk away.

Linda Miller says, “You can see how bad that car is. I was amazed. It was like a Thanksgiving miracle for that woman. She got out of that car, and here I thought she was dead, and she walking around."

The highway was closed for a while as rescuers cleaned up the mess.

It’s unknown if weather played a role in the crash.

But I am sure that it is known Bush had a hand in this Thanksgiving tragedy. Just ask CNN

I'll tell ya ... was driving home from work tonight, had to go to the bank first and then a couple of small shopping errands. And just couldn't believe all the crazed drivers out there, it was amateur night it seemed! I mean lots of tailgating and cutting corners and even driving up on the sidewalk and such ... it seemed that every intersection had some nutty thing going on ...unbelievable !!!

So, if ya's have to drive tonight ... Be Careful Out There

If we banned bad weather, then we wouldn't have to worry about the health effects of secondhand rain.

Washington County (WI) authorities on Wednesday afternoon identified the three people killed in a fiery crash on Tuesday night.

The accident occurred late Tuesday when the car the three were traveling in went out of control on Scenic Drive, left the road, struck several trees and burst into flames, authorities said.

Holiday weekend.

Time for background checks and a waiting period. Bet most of those people were murdered by SUVs (4*4s that act of their own volition with evil intent).

A few weeks ago, there were 2 who bought the farm around here. People think SUVs are safer, and they were driving a friggin' Land Rover -- it did NOTHING to protect them, and they were only going like 50 mph.

I don't think they had belts on, however.

I'd rather drive a nimble car and die by my own reflexes, than buy a tank and not be able to control my last glorious moment of disaster.

Actually, sex was the top story tonight - female teacher having her way with a 17 year old student. Sex sells.

If one of these vehicles is a SUV, you know who'll get the blame.

The SUV knew and the Nanny Cops didn't! SUV WON and the Tax Collectors LOST.

First come First Served, it's a Jungle out there!

Bunch of wise-ass dopey kids on their stooopid cell-phones driving 50 mph out of the parking lot. I've seen so much of this, that I never drive the Vette or the Beemer into town. Just the old mule of a pick-up truck.

The best bumper sticker I've seen states:

Hang Up... And Drive!

My daughter's best friend and her parents were driving down from Maryland to N.C for Thanksgiving yesterday and were involved in a four-car accident. Mom was killed instantly, Dad has multiple fractures and is on a repirator but is expected to make it, the girl has no serious injuries. When,if ever, will the carnage on our highways end?

It's time for an immediate withdrawal from our cars, trucks, and SUV's. The loss of life on our roads and highways is unacceptable. Driving is not worth the cost any more.

(Where is the liberal outrage? I would bet that one third of fatal traffic accidents are preventable.)
