It was horrible. I've never seen a car so brutally destroyed. Should remind us all that impatience or trying to get somewhere early or even on time, is not as important as our life. Be ever so careful when switching lanes-use our blinker, look carefully over our shoulders and be sure another car is not about to do the same. It is so sad. I'm so sorry for her family and everyone involved.
