Although it’s not in this story, I seem to remember another story saying the vehicle went sideways into a tree. If that’s right, a seatbelt does not stop your head from slamming into the side window. When I was a reporter I went to just such an accident. The driver was wearing her belt, but her head hit the driver’s side window, killing her.
There was a discussion about the accident on the thread yesterday. Someone posted that he/she had actually seen photos of the car after the fact.
Indeed, the car apparently rammed into the tree sideways. My understanding is that the door or some other structure actually intruded a considerable distance into the cabin.
Very sad.
