Yes - tragic accident.
Why do some people feel the need to have abandoned cars around their homes? I understand when a car is broken down for a short time while the money is put together to fix it, but so many just keep old dead cars around - with no real plan. Makes about as much sense as the dead refrigerator/freezer keepers. Accidents waiting to happen.
Negligent behavior when it poses a danger to kids....
I can point out 6 or 7 in my beighborhood right now. I suppose one of the problems is that of disposal, or just not knowing how to get rid of it. Many communities have a limit as to how much time is allowed for a car with no tags to sit around.
Here in Central Texas, several non-profits (like Goodwill) will come get your old cars...haul them off.
It's better if they actually RUN, but they'll take the clunkers, too. The cars are fixed (if possible) by trainees in jobs programs, then sold. If not fixable, sold as scrap.
The charity gets cash, young auto mechanics get training, you get a tax deduction, and the old car is out of the yard...win-win.
