Italian fireball crash

Just shocking.

A reminder to us all.

Not sure how old this clip is, but was shared on my FB. Just don’t text or phone whilst driving!

Only two people killed apparently, but about 70 injured. How come there weren’t more fatalities?!

When the big explosion occurs the vehicles in the foreground seem to be gone.

Re: Italian fireball crash

Good grief thats terrible, never seen anything like it, can you imagine being caught up in that, oh my, it doesn't bear thinking how scared people must have been. Shocking, absolutely shocking and who would have thought only 2 people died in that carnage. WOW

Re: Italian fireball crash

After reading Ray's links, the report was that the death toll had been downgraded to just one. Still miraculous.
