You are right... there have been a lot of 'rollover' car accident deaths in Iraq.

And I'd guess a 40 mph headon with an M1A1 cant be pretty for the other vehicle.

This is a sad and unfortunate incident.

Quite so. I remember passing by a tank military convoy in Eastern France during the mid-1980s. There was some big Franco-German military exercise planned (within NATO I think).

The tanks were occupying one side of the road, Leopard-1 and AMX-30s, and a British family in a Range-Rover crashed into the leading tank. It was terrible, the Range was piled into the front armor like a crushed Coke can.
