Authorities investigate cause of deadly Texas truck crash and possibility of human smuggling | Fox News

Gerald Bryant, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said the 23 passengers, were crammed inside the truck's cab and bed, including at least two young children whom he saw among the dead after the Sunday evening crash.

Please remember when you get off the farm and onto the roads, the speed changes and force of impact goes up exponentially. Even though you're not this packed in, use seats and seatbelts on the road.

Sad.
We need to ban pick-up trucks!

 

[hoosierdoc]

Probably just got taco bell as they were making a run FROM the border

I agree, ban trucks

There is no purpose what so ever for a civilian or non LEO to own a vehicle that will hold 15 people.

You're all looking at this totally wrong; the pickup left the ROAD and ran into a TREE.

Roads and trees are the real enemy here!!!

Actually, the enemy here is nature.

Why hasn't bloomberg called for more laws?

 

[TheRude1]

Maybe then the big0 could give another speeach ?

They should ban illegals...this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

 

[sadclownwp]

Lets look at the bright side, perhaps this will in some small way make foreigners think twice about becoming illegal aliens.

Careful about blaming trees. We don't want any of this going on in here:

First my condolences to the families of this tragedy.

I understand the comparisons made between this tragedy and the mass shooting tragedies. Making the point that vehicles are involved in mass deaths as well as guns but no one is calling for a ban on vehicles. That its individuals responsible for their actions not the inanimate objects involved at fault.

How about we display a little compassion before the sarcasm so our liberal friends reading the forum don't take the message out of context?

Liberals are not my friends and they will take it out of context, regardless how it is presented.

Fair enough.

Don't blame the tree. Blame the rain and the sun. Rain and the sun both are responsible for the growth of that tree. ...and what right does rain have to just fall from the sky whenever it wants to, anyway!? What we really need is a way to regulate the rain... ...and don't get me started on the sun. Hello?! Sunburns??? According to top celebrities; More people die from solar related violence every year than from any other kind of violence. COMBINED. EVER! You can't hug your kids with sunburnt arms! (because it stings)

I'm gonna go ahead and throw an IBTL into this mess.

Our point is the libs are not upset about the number of people killed. They're upset that a gun did it. When the same number of people died a few days later, no discussion of the issues surrounding that.

It's the libs who have zero compassion and are running to the podiums to use tragedy to advance their agendas
