Terrible accident late last night when a wrong way driver collided with an SUV on IH20 near the 740 intersection. 5 people are dead including two children. Investigation is still ongoing, KCSO responded along with State Troopers and Mesquite PD.

I found the pictures me and LM were talking about in the Chatter Box.. My cousin was hit head on about a year and a half ago on HWY80 near Knox. These are the pictures from his accident, white car is his, green SUV is drunk driver. He was thrown off the bridge on impact, last picture.

A couple of years ago there was a head-on collision not too far from there on 548. Two young men in their 20's, one who worked at a middle school in Ferris and one who worked for the schools in Greenville, collided in broad daylight. Both died at the scene. Neither one was wearing a seatbelt, although in accidents this violent it probably wouldn't have saved them. Whenever it happens whether daytime or nightime, and the driver(s) are drunk, sober or distracted your chances of surviving a high speed collision are slim. Let's all exercise more caution when we are behind the wheel. Condolences to the families of the victims.

Wow ~ that is horrible Matt.

Here is the picture from the wreck last night:

My cousin was ok in the accident above, his girlfriend decided to ride with her friend behind him for "girl talk"...had she been in the car(white one above) she would have been seriously injured or worse..
