it was a girl

@mattcameron199 may have been from the force of the crash..i guess..

[DubSanta]

Just sayin' but ... you can't have a go at them for not wearing seatbelts where as the '97 year-old' who died was because of internal injuries. which are well known to be caused by seatbelts.

[NeufNeufUn]

just a few grand prixes.

who cares.

[Nick80x]

@NeufNeufUn That Was a Buick, I'm assuming the 97 yr old was driving it, RIP!!

[datdamndre1]

@NeufNeufUn no it was a buick and a impala ls

[SamsungGX20]

amber lamps.

[cadrolls1]

Why was the sun roof open on the Chevy in such cold weather?

[kernalkhaos]

god damn 100 yr old ppl shouldnt have a license, ever see the southpark episode?

[robertgift]

Sorry they died, but were the deceased wearing seat-belts?

These impacts appear not severenough to cause death to restrained occupants.

Can't blame the road.

People must slow and adjust to whatever the conditions are.

[Manongjojo]

I been driving an 18 wheeler over 25 years. Till this day I don't know why these old people go out on bad roads like that when they don't have to? I have seen blizzard conditions before and I seen some dingbat go out and cause a fatal crash just to feed some birds. what an idiot.

[tazztower44]

this streach of elmwood is dangerous..my co-worker was t'boned just last week by some bitch texting on her phone while turning into pinetree trailorpark..something has to be done or we are gonna be seeing more clips of scenes like this..RIP Marie McDonald

[davidhaythornthwaite]

stick too speed limits, take note too driving conditions, and you will live see drive another day

[xrynxedgex]

to, to, and to. not too

[davidhaythornthwaite]

sorry i never knew my spelling was the issue here, pillock

[noskidable]

If time and lives are really important for them, they should install, with their car, the anti-skid tool , which might cost two thou.

[RareRanking]

First of all in conditions and roads such as that, Those cars shouldnt had been doing over 15mph a piece

[kertbert1]

When you grow up on roads like those you learn to drive the speed limit or better. Everybody is in a rush, you can't slow down as fast, accidents occur. You learn to stay off the brake.

[HenryDiscipline]

The dead were not wearing seatbelts. They thought that god alone could always save them. God is busy

[entrailsgalore]

Tragedy, I would just not drive in those conditions it's probably too risky. I hope we don't get storms like that here in SoCal.

[DDayDenzel]

Dude we live in SoCal haha the only place I've heard of it even snowing a little is alpine.

[NEWBUDDY358]

okay. i know one is a buick lacrosse. whats the other one? it looks like an impala

[83anselmo]

that it is

[cochesegt]

it looks like an impala, but i dont think it is...no trim...spoiler seems diff, rims arent any impala line either...

[NEWBUDDY358]

could be custom

[chrisleb411]

RIP Marie McDonald

[chrisleb411]

I was in an accident in that vary spot a few years ago because someone was looking at the lights not paying any attention to where they were going. In this case, yes the roads were poor, BUT im pretty sure someone might have been looking at the display. Thats just my thought.

[Newschaser]

A sad update: Marie McDonald (the 97-year old) passed away last night from internal injuries sustained in the accident. Family member contacted me with this update Dec 14th 08

[boxajr]

@Newschaser whats more sad that she died at 97 in a car crash i mean ffs 3 more years and she would of had 100 years !

[cableguy1111]

It probably WAS the poor road conditions that caused the accident (I too have a scanner, I heard the Mountie requests as well), but we don't know for sure. And, it doesn't take away from the fact that cars do stray from their lane when gawking at the Xmas display. I wish it wasn't so, but I believe there will be more video from this location.

[Newschaser]

I can see bad accidents when the roads are really bad and during and just after a storm no matter how much snow, but this day I was up at 4am the snow stopped at 5am and at 11am roads still not salted. No excuse for this at all and someone had to die because of salting is just wrong.

[cableguy1111]

I also drive by here at least twice a day. It pains me to say that I agree that the light show is a hazard. It's a beautiful display that one can tell comes straight from the heart of its creator. It gives joy to thousands. However, cars that drive by are all over the road. The display has become too much of a distraction. Maybe it could be moved to Centennial park of some other safe location?

[Newschaser]

it wasn't that nice display that caused accident it was the ice on the roads because the city didn't get salt trucks out. Ask the RCMP they complained about it all day right into the evening.

[guilheb]

RIP Fedora. She was my father-in-law's aunt.

[Tangle777]

There was 5 ambulances called in, firetrucks..etc...took them 2 1/2 hours to get one person out of their vehicle...then when we were en route to the hospital in the ambulance, the ambulance slipped and slid the whole way there...not right at all!!!

[Newschaser]

where did this happen was it just outside of Hillsboro?

[Tangle777]

Yes

[Tangle777]

our truck is wrote off and we are in pretty bad shape...our dog was with us as well and is still at the vets office..she had to have surgery on her hip...and there is no reason what so ever that the plows were not out...no excuse whats so ever...that is what our taxes are for.

[Tangle777]

I agree totally, my husband and I and my step daughter were in a horrible crash last night because of the roads..a guy lost control and came into our lane..we hit him dead on then another vehicle came up and hit us and then hit the other guy..

[techx154]

Is it just me or was that accident in front of the house that has all those decorations every year? That strech of road is a death trap because people do not pay attention to the road, they just stare at the decorated yard. Many years I almost got into an accident in that same spot.

[Newschaser]

yes thats right where it happened.

[metliccaa]

Yeah it's slippery out there spent a while trying to get up elmwood by the tracks but couldn't do it. A lot of people were pushin'.
