More than a dozen dead in crash involving SUV and semitruck in California near US-Mexico border

An SUV packed with people pulled out in front of a semitruck towing two trailers in a rural California county near the Mexican border on Tuesday morning, leaving at least a dozen dead and others hospitalized, officials said.

This line amazes me:

There were 27 passengers in the SUV that struck a semitruck full of gravel, said Judy Cruz, the managing director of the Emergency Room Department at El Centro Regional Medical Center.

27 people in one SUV. How? 14 killed on impact, another died at the hospital. Tragic news.

[CaptainStubing]

27 people in an SUV hit a gravel truck head on? I'm actually amazed there are survivors

 

[HammerDown]

I was just in El Centro/Brawley. This is absolutely nightmarish. Imagine showing up to that scene.

Was it an SUV or a van? That’s an agricultural area. I’d think maybe farm workers all piled into a vehicle.

Take that back. Given the proximity to the border, I’m guessing unplanned arrivals.

Unplanned arrival? Oh, like when your wife said she had to "tell you something" when she came out of the bathroom

Mexicans?

No. But, Mesicans, maybe.

Although isn’t it more likely Hondurans, or something like that these days?

If it is border related I guess Coyotes are having issue getting semi trucks these days.

Is that a Ford F150 Supercrew or an old Bronco? Did they make Broncos in the year model with that grille?


I don't think so...That may be a truck! 27 people in a F150 Supercrew?

Edit: It could be a 1996 Expedition. That would make more sense....

 

[broncosmitty]

Were they wearing seatbelts?

 

[Bayou Tiger]

Were they wearing seatbelts?

I don't think the Expedition came with 27 safety harnesses.

Just a guess though, don't hold me to it.....

 

[williewilliejuan]

Were they wearing seatbelts?

I’d venture to say at least 19 of them weren’t.

My guess would be Expedition or maybe Excursion.
