I saw everything it was so terrifying the crash sounded like thunder or a bomb. U could see two arms hanging out of the white minivan
I saw it when there was a guy in a tow truck parked next to them and there were people on the side of the road sitting down and a shirtless man. I didn’t see anyone in the vehicles though. Neither The fire dept not ambulance had showed up yet. My prayers go out to them and their families. Did you see it happen?
