That's sad that you got the video while they were taking them out of the car. I feel bad the FD as well, those calls are never easy. Anyone know how old the person was?

I drove by that today, it was the worst accident I have ever seen.

Despite the condition of the road, I think they must have been driving over the speed limit to have destroyed the vehicle like that.
