If my name was Pedro, and I moved to Bison, I'd introduce myself as Pete.
Good call.
Well, since " unmarked Ford Cargo Van" is a phrase used ubiquitously in expedite, and this is an expediting web site, I certainly inferred expedite, especially since USA Today apparently actually used the words "unmarked" and "cargo."

I'm busted. The "unmarked" came from me seeing pics and no mention of a company.
I believe the term used was delivery van.
Story gone, to busy to search for it..
It doesn't matter anyway. The core of the story is that a full-size van hit a car with sufficient force that the van was on top of the car. That takes speed and not paying attention, whether it happened by collision between the vehicles or if the van hit a curb and became airborne before hitting the car. It's not easy lifting the engine end of a Ford van, and hitting a curb with sufficient force to get it airborne so it could land on the car-- figure it for yourself.
Some years back a neighbor of mine got plastered, got into a drag race with a friend, and slid his Corvette underneath a parked Buick. The shape of the Corvette allowed the car to slide under the Buick and may be the only reason my neighbor lived to tell about it, but--- if he had not gotten the car up to speed it never would have lifted the Buick up and over the Corvette. It took considerable energy to do that. The front of a Ford van is flat, and the rear of most Hondas I've seen aren't all that angled. Two nearly flat surfaces meeting....

More like blame Bush for everything in this country even though lots of it is Obama's fault.

For you, mostly in the California, AZ, occasional NV area in the last few months. No? Mostly slow and steady out that way. The occasional trip out to AZ allows you to open it up a bit I guess.
If it turns out that the van driver fell asleep, we can take a lesson from it: nothing is worth driving sleepy for.
However, if it turns out to have been a sudden medical issue, there's no real way to prepare for something that can happen to anyone - and has. When apparently perfectly healthy people suddenly die, the tragedy is compounded by their causing the death of others as well, but it wasn't their fault.
We should wait for more info.

Very bad crash on I-70 eastbound this afternoon....at Blue Springs Mo.....MM 20....an unmarked SUV with a lot of packages strewn all over the roadway? ripped wide open after being rear ended by an unmarked pick up truck...
Wait for more info? What the heel is wrong with you missy? Its people like you that give the internet a bad rep. If we waited for more information this thread wouldn't exist.
yeah she should know better being an EX mod....you have to keep the clicks coming so Lawrence can make even more money.....and by charging people for seminars to a business that is going downhill quickly...to carriers that keep the revolving door turning

It's not the clicks, it's the number of unique visitors. The regulars that rack up a bunch of clicks aren't worth much to the advertisers cuz they don't pay much attention to the ads.
