His car collided head on ....

Perhaps a head-on t-bone....

Note the Franken bumper sticker. Apparently a fan of intellectually challenged politicians.

I don’t see any airbags? Thought they were mandatory post ‘99 or thereabouts. Not sure how effective they’d be in any case.

Just looked at a satellite pic of the area. Looks like a controlled intersection with decent visibility. Any word on how Threlkeld came to be t-boned?

For some reason I have Rush’s parody song “In A Yugo” in my head....

Is that his car or just a photo of the type of car?

My sypathies to Mr. Threlkeld, but HOW was he killed?

That looks like a fender bender. Even in a Mini, you can see the door still opens. Yeah, the rear fender is crushed and the axles are bent; yeah the car is totaled, but still...

Maybe he had a massive heart attack. I just don’t see that wreck as a fatal wreck.

That is the poster pic of why not to drive small cars.

My smallest car was an 85 Caddie, other than that it has always been SUVs, trucks and full size (and I mean FULL size - like 15 passenger)vans.

Of course I also used to drive semi’s during the summer for our farm.

Well, so much for airbag technology...didn’t do him any good.....especially not deplored.. The Al Frankenand what looks like Obama bumper stickers just solidified my first thought: “A journalist bought it - so frickin’ what?”
