My video is way better.
Here is a view of another similar unit spreading its weight over two structures.
They’ve released the names of the dead, “22-year-old Abigail Boatwright and 17-year-old Evan Boatwright of Gatesville,
TX. The driver of the vehicle is in stable condition.”
I’m sure Temple PD will update as the findings come in.
