personally I dislike suv's-trucks on the roads. Why, they are hard to see in front of, they roll over too easily, they do more damage to cars when in a crash.
Cars you can see through the back window the other cars in front, cars wipe out going too fast in a turn, far better than rolling over and in a crash its fair game.
Trucks-suv's do have their place and are needed, just too many folks use them when a car would do the job better.
Over in New Jersey those high school students got killed when the young driver lost control braking for stop traffic, if they were in a full size car--like a new Charger, the accident might not have even happen. Cars rarely flip unless they hit something.............
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) A sport utility vehicle carrying eight members of a southern New Jersey high school football team crashed Saturday on the Garden State Parkway, killing four players and injuring four, authorities said.
It wasn't immediately clear where the teenagers were coming from or where they were going when the SUV crashed at about 11:45 a.m. The crash, which occurred in the southbound lanes of the parkway near exit 38A in Egg Harbor Township, created lengthy traffic jams in the area for most of Saturday afternoon.
The driver apparently lost control of the SUV as it went around a crest in the road and came upon heavy traffic, said Sgt. Julian Castellanos, a state police spokesman. The SUV overturned several times, ejecting two passengers, one of whom was struck by a passing car, Castellanos said.
The driver and two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene; a third passenger died at a hospital. Four others were taken to hospitals for treatment of injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.
