MVA at 31. The thread in The Memorial isn't getting much attention so I'm putting it in GD.

"The Tahoe that Enriquez was driving was northbound in the inside southbound lane when it struck Cook’s Toyota head-on, police said."

I suppose the other guy, Enriquez, was intoxicated in some manner?

I don't want to say anything that might violate the COC so I'll say nothing.

Yes, wear your seatbelt, though that may not have helped much.

That is a sad news :(

And he became a blackhawk pilot. Much respect.

Godspeed Sir, you are now flying higher than all of us !

He was a pilot. They are fastidious on wearing restraint. It was a 70 MPH, divided highway and the other vehicle was traveling the wrong direction. Offset head on. These are violent collisions which can compromise restraints. This explains why his passenger survived and both drivers were killed.

I know this type personally. A wrong way drunk killed my brother. I had to retrieve his possessions, something that has scarred me for life. And I cannot think of any other reason someone could be driving the WRONG WAY on 195 in that area. It is a DIVIDED HIGHWAY. Of course toxicology won't be known for weeks and we probably won't hear anything.

A Marine I work with was on his way home one day and a guy coming the other way on a small suburban street near his house fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into him head on. Marine survived (the other guy didn't) but messed up his legs pretty badly.

It really could be anyone at any time.

In a roll over wearing your seatbelt will make a huge difference. I passed the scene of a rollover accident the other weekend. About a dozen medics and firefighters were working on a guy laying a good 100 yards away from the vehicle. He was ejected when his car went off the road and rolled. It didn't look good. I also witnessed a rollover at highway speeds, the car rolled 3 or 4 times and also flipped end for end a couple times. Both guys were wearing their seatbelts. Both guys walked away with only bruises. So please wear your seatbelt.

Sad deal. Having been hit head on by a northbound in the southbound of I75...I know firsthand about this.

Few years ago we had an old guy get on a divided highway going the wrong way by using the off ramp as an on ramp. He drove about two miles hitting numerous cars along the way before doing a header into a final vehicle, at which time both cars involved were shredded into hundreds of pieces. Everyone involved lived and either walked away or were transported for treatment. No fatalities. I've never seen such an extensive trail of wreckage at an MVA scene.
