#News #Oklahoma #CarCrash
So sad 😞 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My deepest sympathies to the family’s of these girls. Prayers for the families, friends and the entire town as they work thru their grief. I hope and pray that the driver of the truck has a good support system of loved ones to help him in the days, and weeks ahead…
A small town like that. That is like the whole town’s cheerleader squad being gone now.
Dang a car that small fitting teenagers in it more than likely four in the backseat and two in the front, major young souls rest in peace and prayers and love to the family and to the truck driver who will have a lifelong mental condition because of this prayers to both families much love and may you young ladies rest in peace
I’m sure they died doing what they loved. Being on their cell phones
Oh no oh no my god poor victims and poor parents and families this is too much and very disturbing my god I just got from the hospital my dad could not pee properly prostate problem and he is safe and now at 3am in Paris I stumbled into this tragedy this is going to haunt me
This is so 😥 😔 😟 🙁 😞 😿 😥 😔 😟 for these young girls 👧 👏 💪 👍 🙌 👌 👧 👏 💪 👍 🙌 👌 👧 👏 💪 their lives have been cut short by this tragic accidents my ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🖤 ♥️ ❤ felt condolences to the families ♥ 😢 💔❤ 😞 🙏♥ 😢 💔❤ 😞♥ 😢, ♥ 😢 💔❤,
Only Reincarnation can give these kids Justice
These kids did not get to enjoy life – college, a career, fall in love, marriage, kids & all the celebrations and joys of life not to mention the dreams and hopes that they must have had
All that snuffed out so cruelly
Heaven seems to be one vast Retirement Home – filled with old people – it is no place for the young – old people shuffling about, a lazy, idle, useless and pointless existence for eternity!
If they choose life – REAL LIFE – they can be reborn and enjoy all the joys of life!
Justice is done!
And best of all they get to be with God
FOR GOD IS WITH THE LIVING, NOT THE DEAD
Someone misjudged the speed of the other. Condolences to the families, friends & classmates.
Jesus this is sad I can’t imagine 6 sets of parents all at once having to deal with this
I’m so sorry! prayers to the families.
Prayers for the families of these children.
This is why i do not want to drive, yes I’m 16 but it is scary
Don’t drive like these idiots and you won’t have to worry….
You’d be amazed how much safer driving can be if you actually use your brain and pay attention
Six girls in a car designed for four 🤔
Those 18 wheelers need to slow down and pay attention, I always hear them say what do you do if someone pulls out in front of you, truck drivers say run them over, or some do because I hear it. You avoid it and steer away from the crash because that’s not cool. 6 teenagers killed and why didn’t you avoid it instead you just ran right over them. They better look closer
Do you realize that there’s a stop sign where the teens were coming out of? obviously the semi had the complete right away and was not expecting them to pull out…
The semi had the right of way. Not only were these idiots crammed into a clown car, but they did a u-turn in front of an oncoming truck….
O.M.G
Holy smokes
Six teenagers in what looks like a tiny 4 seater car, come on, no wonder.
Poor babies ❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️
What an unspeakable loss for those families. I cannot fathom how 6 people were crammed into a car that small, one of the smallest cars available in the USA. There was pretty much no potential for survival in an auto accident in this scenario. The 4 in the rear seat could not have been belted in, and they likely were all propelled forward violently into an already tiny and collapsing survival space of the front seat occupants. Sad and tragic loss
High school students should travel alone. Whenever they are in a group, this stuff happens and clearly, the driver was distracted. Another issue is how cheaply cars are made these days. Cars of today are like little beer cans with engines. Even though there are airbags and the car cage is supposed to protect you, that only works for low to moderate speed impacts, without significant inertia. The cars are more narrow, putting your head and shoulders right at the edge of the car. If you get hit in anything less than a full-sized SUV, you are in trouble…
Absolutely right I used to drive a truck and I hit a full sized Dodge van years ago and I was going about 40 mph it demolished the van pushed the body off the frame and spread it out to about 12 foot wide in the rear and it was a teen driving it he had the radio on full blast it was still blaring when he stopped he was sitting in the second row of seats when it was over but otherwise unharmed ………he later became a truck driver himself a few years later .
RIP how heartbreaking! Can six people fir in that car safely?
6 people in a Chevrolet Spark? One of the smallest modern cars on the road that can barely fit 4 small adults!
I’ve done way stupider things at that age. Just got lucky. RIP ❤️
Tooooo bad
Im sorry but some people are morons in this thread. Cars are engineered to safety standards for many reasons…if your competent to gain the driver’s licence your expected to be mature and responsible. ..exactly to mitigate such circumstances as this tragedy.
What we want is safe roads and passengers that arrive safely to the destination. Please ensure your kids are trustworthy in exactly this type of behaviour
Prayers for every soul & that everyone who is grieving to be comforted.
Thoughts and prayers to all the families. 🙏
LMAO SHOULD HAVE ORDERED DOOR DASH NOT CAR CRASH
6 IDIOTS DIE IN A 4/5 SEATER CAR
WOULD HAVE BEEN SAFER IN A IMPALA OR CADDY
Omg horrible rip 🙏 sweet girls ..
Did the six cellphones they were all on survive?
One of the most heartbreaking things is seeing some of their belongings inside the car 🙁
God love this
Beatiful very beautifull 🥰
🙏for all the families
ANY GOOD DRIVER WITH COMMON SENSE ALWAYS SLOW DOWN PASSING INTERSECTIONS!!!!!
No more off school lunches to dangerous when running late back to class. So sorry for there families
Welcome to the Number 1 killer of teens (not school shootings)
I know it’s not the time to be pointing blame but that was a Chevy spark, designed to hold four people at the most, what are six girls doing loaded up into a tiny little car with a 16-year-old at the wheel. A little car like thatShe probably couldn’t even see because of all the people inside but that means that there had to be four girls in the backseat which probably means two in the seats with two on their laps.
I definitely agree the driving age should be raised.
Nah we need natural Selection
My deepest condolences and prayers to the friends and family of the victims. I’m so very sorry. My son lost 3 of his best friends in a hockey team bus crash 4 years ago when they were hit by a semi. Any loss of life is devastating and tragic but when there are multiple victims it takes it to another level.
I’m so very sorry for that whole community and very very sorry for the family’s
sounds like they dont want to say that six kids not looking no seat belts pulled in front of the truck , i feel sorry for him he has to live with this the rest of his life . all the parents and SCHOOL are to blame – WHYYY?! did they let six kids pack into that toy of a car ??????
😔😢🙏🏾
My heart goes out to everyone including the truck driver😩🙏🏾
Did they bounce?
There are way to many untrained Semi-truck operators, they are also driving at excessive speeds while messing with devices and half the units on the road probably need red tagged.
Then shenanigans like the convoy of freedom bring no light to the issues,
However I did see an operator lighting his joint in the convoy.
Your terminal case of TDS is noted. This particular truck driver had the right-of-way, and these girls pulled a u-turn directly into the path of the oncoming truck. Not to mention there were 6 of the little geniuses crammed into a clown car meant to seat 4….
@Douglas Harbert That’s the only way that lifetime loser gets validated by making stupid comments
Self driving vehicles can’t come soon enough. Imagine all the lives saved. Roughly 35-40k a year.
People die in self-driving vehicles all the time….
The driver obviously was distracted and did not see the truck. Unfortunate carelessness can cost us on the roads.
I’VE ALWAYS SAID….A 6-way simultaneous duck-faced selfie while driving could be deadly
if i was that truck driver i would relocate for safety purposes
Why? He didn’t do anything. The truck had the right of way. There was a stop sign where the girls were at. They pulled out in front of the truck. Simple as that…
Praying for all the families affected by this tragedy 🙏🏾.
All it takes is one person not paying attention to what is going on for. Split second. The car was surreal to look at. Will be interesting to find out what the investigation reveals.
Somebody didn’t know how to drive!!!!!
Well they won’t do that again lmao
I’m sorry for the loss of life of these young people. When your that young you dont ever think of anything happening to you. I know I didn’t. What make or model of the car doesn’t matter! I read some of the comments. They were young people enjoying there life…
Prayers for all❤🙏
Kids are kids ,we used to fit 6 into a Ford Pinto in high school playing The Stones on Cassette deck and God only knows how many times we could have been these girls.. It’s bad Karma to judge anyone in this accident..
My heart aches, sorry for your loss. Rest in peace,
So sad. Pray for the families of these young women.
Am I the only one that believes driving age should be 18? There is no reason to have 16-17 year old children driving cars. High school children should be taking school buses.
90 percent of people have 0 business operating a motor vehicle.
My heart is heavy and I would like to send my condolences and prayers of love and healing to all, XO
Wow how u fit 6 kids in a Chevy sparks
how did 6 young kids fit in that lil car?
Unfortunately the trucker will be tortured a lifetime for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
So sad, it was a mix of that dangerous intersection and reckless driving. Driver didn’t come to a complete stop and it’s hard to see oncoming traffic from that intersection. Only 2 were wearing seat belts but that didn’t make a difference…tragic.
I just saw a tragic wreck like this in Florida on the news yesterday. It’s becoming too common. RIP to the girls, condolences to their families. The roads are becoming very dangerous all over, we have to drive expecting anything at any time to happen.
I sometimes wonder how I never got killed as a teenager. I think back to how crazy we drove around in busy L.A. traffic in a tiny Ford Fiesta. Shivers
NTSB has concluded from eyewitnesses that they failed to stop at the stop sign .
Omg, so sorry for the losses!!!…
My Deepest condolences goes out to the family & friends. May they R.est I.n P.aradise together 😇😇😇.
God, I prey that you hold all that’s involved and connected in this, close to your heart in these hours.
Amen . 🙏
That cars a mini I can only tell as my R50 has same wheels
Seeing the blood covered shoe made my heart sink.
These vehicles are all plastic now and the metal is not good either what little there actually is now
This is certainly a tragic accident. The six girls are really still children. This did not need to happen. Where was the parental supervision of the six girls families. Did they know that the girls were driving in this irresponsible manner. Were they instructed on using seat belts? This crammed driving environment with 6 passengers in a car designed for 4 certainly did not help the driver keep her eyes and attention on the road. Parents out there; let’s try and keep this type of tragedy from happening again. Know what your children are up to and the activities they participate in.
The accident is really not about the girls ages ..Failure to yield the right a way probably happens every second across the US ,,Happens to all ages
Why teens should ever be together in a car why was there six of them in a car like that that was just stupid t
Parents don’t buy your kids cars make them earn it on there own
So sad 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
People do not realize how dangerous driving can be , I drove a semi truck 30 yrs and I had people pulling out in front of me a lot , you just can’t stop a big truck on a dime , people please be careful , so sorry for those families !!!!
It’s illegal. You can’t drive 6 people in that car. It’s obviously tragic but they did something very stupid, and illegal, and paid the ultimate price. Next time take 2 cars.
R.I.P
Riddle me this everyone.
U notice u 👍 a video about something horrible
Riddle me that
Please don’t delete this boss. I’m just speaking my mind 😘👊•
Hi
Oh I forgot to say Lord have mercy on the truck driver especially if he was black please have mercy because the law they are not as I said it’s a law for the white people is a lock with a black people but death is death it is sad life is something you can’t give up Lord have mercy
Take heart the family of the deceased.
Finally a working method
A bunch of teens of 6 in a 4-seat car without wearing seat belts. There has to be a lesson to be learned here.
So much human error resulted in this…
1:41 the guy on the left has hard time keeping his smile tucked away…
🥲 I don’t know if this was a factor here, but when driving, turn your phone off, your radio off, and tell passengers to keep it quiet. Don’t go on a green light, or stop sign, until you look left, right, and left one more time to make sure no one is coming. 🙏
Please please 🙏🙏🙏 stop showing this video of the seen the parents and family and alot of people don’t need to have this repeating…rest in peace children and peace be with you truck driver and all family’s of the beautiful children. now please stop showing the video let everyone have peace
Oh this is so awful! My prayers with the truck driver and families of the students. 😢🙏🏻
i live about 30 minutes away from this school. Our school had a meeting hours after this happened talking about driving safety and were not allowed to check out for lunch anymore during the school day
That was a 4-seater, and 6 people were inside. It’s unlikely any of them were wearing seatbelts. These compact cars are designed to crumple very well and it’s remarkable how well their cabins hold. But that means nothing if passengers are not wearing seatbelts.
God bless their souls and give them peace amen.
I know the feeling.my dad’s Peterbilt lowboy ran into 4 students in a car and killed them on a highway in Colorado after they ran a stop sign.my prayers go out to these students as well.
BASIC HOUSEHOLD CLEANING AGENTS AND WHAT YOU SHOULD NEVER MIX THEM WITH:
BLEACH AND AMMONIA
BLEACH AND ALCOHOL
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE + VINEGAR
WOMEN AND VEHICLES
Why are they allowed to get out of school during launch,in my country that’s prohibited,this is incredibly heartbreaking
I don’t believe for one instant the young lady driving meant for this to happen but a car load of teenagers is never a good idea. I’m sorry it’s just not. Wake up parents. Call your insurance provider and ask them who is involved and who is the cause of most accidents. Be the mean the parent if you have to and tell your teen no to giving their friends rides or accepting them from their peers when there will be more than two in the car. It’s a distraction.
In that car could’ve been the next great president, or the one who cured cancer or someone who would have saved countless lives. But now we will never know. We do know that there are 12 parents and a handful of siblings who’s lives are never gonna be the same. Think about that next time your teen wants to off with a carload of friends. And remember, you are their parent and not their friend and that a teenager is still a child learning to be an adult. My heart and prayers are with everyone affected by this including the truck driver and the first responders.
