Very sad read and I hope that his family does find peace as well soon. These are always tough things to deal with.

So sad - and sadder still to read that the driver might not have had his seat belt in use. With the seat/shoulder belts and the supplemental inflatable restraints he might have survived.
I never move a vehicle without my seatbelts not only buckled, but snugged down.
My condolences to his family and friends.....

Seatbelts definitely save lives. I always buckle up.
My parents were hit head on in their mini van a few years ago by a work truck whose driver was hurrying to get back to the office at closing and turned directly into them. Had it not been for their seatbelts both would have been killed. Instead they escaped with a couple of broken ribs, bruising, and concussions. It's not always how you drive but the other driver you have to worry about.
