Would this have been a story if the woman was driving a prius or a lexus hybrid?

[BenLurkin]

Nope.

Did the SUV use a gun?

Does he tuck the loincloth under him or just let it fly?

I'm sure the SUV took control away from the woman who was supposedly driving......

I hoped they checked to see if Jane or Cheetah weren’t thrown clear by the impact.

Was the SUV a Muslim? Did anyone question the vehicle?

Or would that be vehicular profiling?

Why is it I never hear a story about anyone being killed or injured by sports car or a sedan or a coupe? Is it possible that all traffic fatalities are caused by SUV’s?

Gotta watch out for those killer SUVs.
