    Oh that's a tight fit. Far too tight. Not far from me, we just drove that route right past that location on Wednesday.

    Whoa, it looks like something pulled out of a car crusher. I don't know how they survived.

    yeah but that looks like a 6 star crash and it still worked. That's the impressive bit.

    Some of the surrounding surface roads were closed due to inclimate weather, I know I don't like following tractor trailers in heavy rain, we don't know if there were twenty tractor trailers behind her, we dont know if she has oem tires, I'd rather give her the benefit of the doubt than assume she wasn't capable, her car hydroplaned, bad luck.
    Thank god the prius is such a safe car.

    I guess as a matter of course with a serious accident, they would check her for previous infractions.
