Three Killed in Romanian Highway Accident, One Catapulted into a Tree
Three Romanians died and two others are in serious condition following a terrible accident in the Czech Republic on the highway when they were returning from Germany and the United Kingdom. Relatives of the victims went to the Czech Republic. The impact was captured by surveillance cameras around 14:00. The trailer towed by the minibus was hit from behind by a car traveling at high speed. Following the impact, the minibus became unbalanced, overturned, and passengers were thrown on the asphalt and one was catapulted into a tree. One of the passengers, a 49-year-old man, died on the spot due to injuries. The man was returning from work in the UK to prepare for his only son's wedding. They were in the UK for 10 years. He came home to enjoy a wedding. His wife and his son were preparing to have a wedding, said a cousin of the victim. The other two victims were husband and wife. They were taken by helicopter to the hospital, but died shortly afterwards, despite the efforts of doctors. They were both returning from Germany for a relative's funeral. The condition of the Romanians injured in the accident in the Czech Republic: “It is serious. If he wakes up, he risks being in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. " "Good people, people in their place. He had made his home here. Their whole family is in Germany ", declared the mayor of the town. At the wheel of the car was a 43-year-old man, who was expected at home by his wife and their two daughters. He escaped with his life, but is hospitalized in serious condition. He had not consumed alcohol, according to Czech police. Grieving families are in the Czech Republic to bring the dead to the country. |

Looked like a giant, supercharged, overpressure zit blowing a sumptuous jet of white puss into that tree.

Re: Three Killed in Romanian Highway Accident, One Catapulted into a Tree
I have seen a similar fatal highway accident in the 1970's with a VW Beetle towing a small trailer, the VW driver died. Maybe a trailer makes the the system less stable or the combination has a dangerous resonant frequency.
