Some kind of record of people in a vehicle!
Saw it on the news this afternoon... On the Mexico/California border a Ford Excursion with 25 people in it in a wreck with a gravel truck!
Didn't turn out well for the south of the border folks with 13 getting killed. How do you breathe with 25 people in a vehicle like that? How do you fit 25 people in a vehicle like that? How many were alive before the collision? That could be close to 2 tons of people in the thing with a totally bottomed out suspension and most likely a tire blow out involved!

That is so sad, but I am also very glad the driver died, so he was not aware of the complete chaos that he created. I thought this sort of thing was confined to undeveloped Third World countries.

I know that a Ford Excursion is a large truck, but Holy Cow Batman.
Well, there is 11 we won't have to take care of. sorry.
The boarder and the wall is a sore subject with me.

Not even an Excursion, just an older Expedition. Seating for six.

Yep seems it was a smuggle operation and they were stacked in like sardines and this is just one case and sure many others like it. The door is wide open!
Re: Some kind of record of people in a vehicle!
There was a second vehicle with a couple of dozen right behind the one that was struck. Gonna bite my tongue now and move on.

I first thought the media made a mistake when they said "SUV". As I said that there is no way to fit that many people in one, but when I saw it on TV this morning, I guess they did. Pretty crazy.
