http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/3816380/ The pics are amazing. Nothing left of the car. Please be in prayer for the families involved. Dunn, N.C. — A sedan ran a stop sign and set off a wreck, involving a tanker truck and station wagon, that killed five people in Dunn Friday night, state troopers said. A black Honda Accord ran a stop sign at Bailey Crossroads/Fairground Road and N.C. Highway 27 around 11 p.m., Trooper Gregg Steffens said. A tanker truck going west on N.C. 27 ran over the Accord and hit a station wagon going east on the highway. Three men and two women in the Honda died, troopers said. All five were from the Raleigh area. "The truck actually went on top of the vehicles," Steffens said. "It's hard to survive a collision this violent." The driver of the station wagon, Kimberly Jones, 18, of 225 Adams Road, was transported to Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital. Jones was listed in stable condition early Saturday. The tanker driver, Ronnie Vanatta Jr., of Pikeville, was treated and released at the scene. Troopers continued to investigate the wreck.
Car Wreck God Bless The Families who were involved. My Family sends our prayers to all who are affected by this terrible tragedy.
I saw this on the news this morning........just horrible! I'm surprised there wasn't an explosion with the tanker being involved also. Been hoping and praying that no one we know was involved and for the families that are.....:cry:
The husband of a very dear friend of mine is an EMS worker. He responded to this call / wreck and is just all out of sorts. He said it was one of the worst he has every seen. Thoughts and prayers to the families that have lost their loved ones. Also, my prayers are with the EMS workers as I hope they can find comfort some how with what they had to see. :cry:
I can only imagine how the scene looked when they arrived. We were listening on the scanner and it only took a few minutes from the time the first person arrived for them to say they had 5 fatalities. If it had been on the Johnston County side of Fairground Rd, my hubby would have been on the call. Glad he wasn't, but I hate it for those that were. Horrible accidents like this really affect our firemen, EMT's, officers. It takes them a LONG time to get over something like that.
I grew up not too far from there, Terrible intersection..........needs a flashing light. I've even seen school buses wreck there. It seems like as many accidents that have been there, they would have already had a light there. Just terrible. Thoughts and prayers go out to their families!
