Horrific crash in Toronto

amit · 2nd October 2005, 06:05

A Chevrolet Cobalt was zooming at approx 160kmph on the 401 when the driver attempted a lane change and lost control of the car. Thats when things went really wrong. There was a big transport trailer in the next lane and the car got stuck under the trailer and got dragged for a fair distance. Apparently, the gas tank blew and the car burst into flames. The trailer then struck the guard rail and came to a halt. 2 men in the car died. One guys body was hanging out midway through the window. Emergency crews took a few hours to extract the other guys body that was squeezed in the badly mangled car. Apparently, the only way they knew it was a Cobalt was from the registeration number.
What a sad waste of two young lives.
