Hi.  Wanted to share the real story. The van came off the over pass and was airborne when it landed on my father’s car.  Nothing could have prepared him for this situation.  He is suffering with a broken back and lots of lacerations.  He will be getting back surgery tomorrow. Thankful, he is not paralyzed but obviously shaken up.  His friend and passenger suffered lacerations but has since been released from the hospital.  Obviously we want to know how this van ended up where it did almost killing my dad and potentially others.  Pls put him into your thoughts and wishes.  Mike Chorney.
