On Sunday morning there was a very bad head on accident that I could see from my driveway one car with 4 passengers father and daughter with his mother and a friend other vehicle was 70 year old male they released all the names today all 5 passed away very very sad I’m sure this happens but it hits home more when it’s this close I did not personally know any of the people that lost there lives but all local this happened on a state highway and it was closed for 6 hours life sure can be short the daughter was only 17

That sounds terrible. I just bet when they got up that day, that wasn't in their plans.

Hope you will be able to get it off your mind.

Bad deal, think I happens more than anyone knows.
I know Montana has it's fair share of them.
And never ends good.

Is this the accident being refered to?-Wisconsin Accident

A lot of people have automobile accidents while suffering a medical emergency like a stroke or heart attack. It is one of the most likely ways you will die.

The news said a 17 year old driver crossed the center line causing the accident. Good possibility of texting causing distraction.

Bad deal. One of my kid's friends, a 13 year old girl, died last week in a car crash, along with her mother and her stepfather Same deal where the driver crossed the center line, head-on into a semi. Funeral is Friday.

had it happen here a few times
had one several years back family of 4 and a lone older woman in the other car only survivor was the one kid in the backseat. survived but will never be right , body and brain injury coma for a while , no family left .

life can definitely change in an instant

that one was March 10th I think

unfortunately fatal auto crashes happen a lot

and on roads that just shouldn't they are strait and wide and good shoulders.

This is the headline unfortunately they happen all too often just don’t think about it until it’s someone you know or you see it

Doubt it. Her dad was in the car.

As the Coroner for one of the fastest growing counties on the country. I see it all to often, the news rarely gets it right when they do report on it.

I highly doubt that the 17 yr old was texting if she was driving with her parents in the car. Youth and inexperience most likely the cause. No matter what it is still a bad situation. Prayers for all involved including witnesses.

News has gotten it wrong 100% of the time they report on anything I have had first hand knowledge of over the years. Never get all 5 of the W's correct the first go round.

more likely wind than texting if family was in the car.

it was very windy with strong gusts Sunday morning

I was driving to Milwaukee Sunday morning to work on a car

was following a race type trailer for a while must not have had too much weight in it , that truck and trailer were across a lane and a half when a gust hit , the trailer would just jerk over about 4-5 feet he eventually pulled off

Every time you get in a vehicle your risking your life. One wreck we were in a guy ran a light and my son 16 months old was killed. My wife and I were injured badly. That was in 07

Last year I saw a truck cross the grass on a 4 Lane decided spot on hwy 62 about 60 yards ahead of us it hit a car in the front quarter panel and door. It was an old man and his wife. I helped his wife as she was unsteady and getting out, he was knocked out door smashed and not able to be opened. I used a few pry bars and got the door open and cut his seat belt off so ems could get to him right away when they got there. I thought I was going to have to fight people that keep trying to pull him out of the car, told them to leave him there tell he had a collar to support his neck. They thought the steam from the radiator and dust from air bag was smoke and the car was on fire.

Wrecks are bad and life can change in an instant.

My condolences sir.

That’s terrible. I was in a head on in 2006 everyone survived it was an experience I’ll never forget and my initial thought was I’ve breathed my last

Prayers for all

That is terrible. Never know when it will be over just like that.

2 kids at our local school just about didn't make it home a couple of weeks ago. They pulled out in front of a semi coming down the highway on the edge of town. I was coming up the highway at the time and witnessed it all 1st hand. The semi swerved to miss them as best he could, still sent them into the ditch upside down. I took the ditch on my side as the semi was coming at me in my lane. I had plenty of wide open ditch to use so that seemed like a good course of action. The 16 year old driver broke her jaw and dislocated her shoulder. He younger brother suffered a brain bleed. They were both back at school today.

Sent with prayer. Too many memories of working as EMS on wrecks.
