This is absolutely tragic! Why is the death toll so high? There wasn’t much to be gleaned from the article.

It sounds like a truck basically crushed a car like an empty can, so all the occupants died, and I would assume if it hit that hard, there's going to be other cars smashed in the process.

It's pretty grim.

Not a car, a Handi-Transit bus/van.

Grim is right. I don't think I could watch any footage from closer up. What a nightmare
