Double Fatal Model A vs Nissan Titan - Graham WA

A sad story from May 7, 2005. The driver and passenger of the Model A were killed when the driver of Titan failed to yeild when making a left turn. The eldery couple was returning home from an antique car event. Several other friends drove past the wreck in their own classic cars.

The driver died at the scene. The passenger, his wife died at the hospital. Seats belts might have allowed for a different out come, but were not installed in the Model A. Because of the age of the vehicle, seat belts were not required.

I do not know if the driver of the Titan was later charged with anything.

When that Model A was produced, it was a privilege to drive a car, and people actually took pride in driving and their ability to do so. Unfortunately nowadays anyone can get one and usually end up being careless drivers. Very sad.

Lol more damage to the pickup

@fattony252 its ideas like this that make this country so pussified. YOU CANT PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THEMSELVES! unstead of outlawing a classic car (wich would never happen) why dont we teach people to be better drivers? instead of handing out licences in a cereal box, make people work for it. lets learn how to drive better rather then crash better.

[curtmaster3001]

i cant beleive how people are blameing the truck for the crash. its the driver of the truck, the trucks size has nothing to do with it. the model A was tiny so it makes the truck look huge. that is a midsized truck and it is not "lifted" like someone said. nomatter what you think aout the trucks size it all boils down to the carelessness of the driver. dont be ignorant.

[carlover89]

they should get these big ass redneck lifted trucks off the road. KEEP THEM ON THE FARM NOT TO GO PICKUP A LOAF OF BREAD. That model a probly only saw the road once in while being a classic and was a fun memorie for the eldery couple. So I don't blame them. BIG TRUCK/SUVs+MODERN ATTITUDE=Bad drivers and trajedy...

Testosterone + I gotta big ol truck = dangerous outcome

[fattony252]

The Model A was not designed to crush on a front impact. The entire force was absorbed by the driver and passenger. Outlaw these hunks of junk.

@weldrocks trying to find the battery under the back seat usually

[pastorgeorgem]

it looks to be the cowling and Hood Is what impacted the driver and Passenger of the Model A town car

I find the result of the crash to have been impressive considering that it hit a pickup. Having hit a car would have been much better and might have resulted in the passenger's of the Ford surviving. It's obvious that the high faced truck impacted the top of the car greatly.
