Amazingly, the car crash just happened today and it’s already mentioned on his Wikipedia page(!). (It’s amazing enough that he even has a Wikipedia page)
The passenger compartment looks like it is intact. I wonder what make and model of car it is.
They lived through that?
He had the lead child role in John Wayne’s ‘The Cowboys’.
So many in the Carradine family have delivered such great performances over the years. Thanks for the many hours of enjoyment, John & David (RIP), Keith (a personal fave), Bobby, et al.
Headline says accident happened last week.

Look closely where the driver would be. He’s lucky he’s alive.
Prayers for him.

Wikipedia is pretty quick. I have yet to beat them to the punch on a breaking news story. It’s almost like they have people with fingers poised on the keyboard, just waiting to hit the post button.
“I fell for him in “Last Stand on Saber River.”
Don’t ask me why, I don’t know!

We often don’t know-—it’s the mystery sometimes. :-)

i'm not surprised... he's been around for a long time... has done a lot of tv and cinema... seems i see him all the time in various types of roles... he even played the dad on Lizzie McGuire (Disney Channel)... recently i saw him play a bad guy...
A lot of the crush which is sustained in accidents “rebounds” after the collision. In other words, as far in as the intrusion is afterwards — the intrusion was even greater during the moment of impact.
Airbags make a huge difference.
