Florida woman rammed tanker truck in bid to kill self, 2 children: police

Florida police say a woman deliberately rammed the van she was driving into a gasoline tanker truck after telling a friend she was going to get into a crash that would kill her and her two sons, 4 and 6.

The boys were taken to the hospital after the fiery crash Friday in Gainesville, released, and released to the custody of child welfare workers, according to reports.

She spoke to cops, but claimed memory loss about what happened, according to the paper.

The arrest report says the friend told police of Mack’s plan, quoting Mack as saying that “it was ‘God’s will’" and that she was “afraid” but nothing could be done to change the outcome, the paper reported.

Police said the tanker truck driver swerved when he saw Mack coming at him after crossing lanes, according to the paper. Mach then made a U-turn and rammed the tanker truck from behind, causing her vehicle to catch fire.

The tanker truck driver and passersby rescued Mack and the boys, who were trapped after the airbags deployed, WCJB-TV reported. The station cited the police report as saying the boys are autistic.

Somehow, I think she will survive her suicide watch...

Another lesbian murder-suicide? We will know for sure if this story just disappears, like mass-murdering Bernie dykes in California last year.

Unfortunately, it was a milk truck and they merely experienced massive doses of calcium and Vitamin D

I wonder if she is related to the Connie Mack line. They are in Florida, too.

When we were dating I promised my wife I would never get any tats and she promised never to get the old women/dyke haircut.

Gainesville, special needs kids, rough looking mugshot. A lot of smoke here pointing in that direction, sadly.

Not excusing her, but taking care of two autistic children would be difficult.

Or the Mack truck line?

They’re bulldogs, not dykes.

Definitely a dude! Imagining her with children is pretty frightening!

“She” shares the name of Fauxnews Meteorologist Melissa Mack, difficult to sort through all the hits for anything other than this incident.

THANK YOU!

If she doesn't have support from, ick, a “significant other,” family, friends, church (or whatever) I could see a break coming. I just spent from Monday to Saturday with friends whose autistic grandson and his parents were also there.

They are all SUPERB caregivers and they “spell” each other. And he knows me ... first thing he said when he saw me was, “I love you, [Mad Dawg],” — yay me! ... but this was NOT a walk in the park.

If she really has 2 autistic kids ... she needs a lot of help.
