Couple in Car Killed Being Buried by 50 Ton of Gravel
Terrifying footage from a dash cam shows a white sports car in Xiamen, Fujian being covered in 50 tons of gravel, after the vehicle struck a fully-loaded dump truck, knocking it on its side. Both the driver and passenger were killed in the crash. The 24 year-old victims, an engaged coupled named Wu and Pu, were pronounced dead at the scene. A number of bystanders attempted to dig them out from under the rubble, but couldn’t get to the couple. It took emergency response workers almost two and a half hours to recover the bodies. The force of the overturned load of gravel was so heavy that the frame of the white sports car buckled under the weight, crushing it. As the video shows, the intersection where the crash took place does not appear to have traffic lights installed in either direction. It appears from the video that the driver did not see the dump truck at all as the passenger repeatedly yelled, “Be careful!” while the dump truck can be heard honking. According to an eyewitness named Liu, the sports car was preparing to make a left-hand turn at the same time the dump truck entered the intersection. The driver of the truck has been taken into custody by the police for further investigation. |

This clip shows a couple things. First, Just how sketchy traffic is in this part of the world. Second, Just how fast and unexpected we can all be lights out. |

It was, at least, relatively fast for them, since it's the trailer that crushes them with the full weight of the gravel. It just spreads after that.
