It was was never going to be pretty.

I passed a wreck nine years ago just moments after it had happened (no emergency services had arrived, though a passing nurse had already stopped) and the image is still burned into my memory. Someone had driven a small passenger van, a Chevy Astro, under an artic trailer. The driver had decapitated himself as his side was furtherest under, his wife in the passenger seat had her head trapped in the door window frame because the A pillar had been pushed almost all the way back to the B pillar - her face was trapped and squashed from the sides, and I assumed she was dead or dying, though she did survive.

Video on social media now from very soon after the crash. Looks like building security using handheld extinguishers to put out the flames, can hear civil defence sirens but no sign of them. Civilians carry the boxer out of the remains and think about CPR but waste of time.
