... it proves that, as stout and sturdy as a good GMC SUV can be ("We Are Professional Grade"). they're no match for a tractor trailer that's doin' the speed limit...
I remain convinced that the concept of
conservation of momentum is something that should be taught to -- correction,

Smart car or similar microcar...
Oh my, that was bad. Distracted driving is real. It's a good reminder that we need to give all our attention to the road and the people/cars around us. We see "stupid" things every day on the road, where we just shake our heads. These accidents are so unfortunate and probably preventable. So sorry for the people involved (in both vehicles), because this changes your world. I agree with Shutterbug, stay safe out there.
Agree. Very sad to see these sorts of things happen.
