Corvette crash...
Hope the occupants fared better than things look. Looks to be like a New York plate...

I think its pretty safe to say that the occupants didnt fare well at all. That was an instant fatality as reported elsewhere.
I know this is in a different section now but this has already been locked down at least 3 times in different sections of the forum.

looks like the truck lacked the inverted T-Bar on its *** .... to prevent this awful outcome. Lawsuits will follow for sure.

it's not the rigs fault...I doubt it backed up on it!
for that car to be embedded so far, it was moving.
people need to learn to slow down in traffic....some deserve it..don't want to be rude, but it's true...you can only outrun death so long before it catches up to you...I doubt it was someone who never speeds or zig zags in and out of traffic...I see it all the time.

I see what you are referring to ... but, that bar is probably from taillight level of truck, and not from the lower T-position.
IMO ... this bar doesn't look like the usual T-bar most trucks use.
