@TapouTaP Yeah the van sure did get owned. Good thing it was a full sizer and not a minivan. There would of been no chance of survival in that case.

I dont think its fair to comment rudely about people involved in the accident, there actually were no witnesses, the first person came on the scene 5 minutes after it happened. Im just glad everyone is alive and walking, the guy in the black truck is still concussed and beat up. Dave is doing well I just saw him yesterday and he is not holding any hard feelings against anyone.
