I also remember two guys on two of those rice rockets who took a big rig HEAD ON! They had been cited just a half hour earlier for speeding. Tried to pass a car on an uphill grade with a curve. The cornor towed the tractor to his lab to 'try' to recover as much tissue as possible. The radiator was a giant strainer. There was nothing that resembled a human body part. That wasn't cool, it was sick...
Then there was the guy who was driving in pea soup fog with his head out the window watching the fog line. Problem was, he was on the wrong side of the road. His head hit a passing power pole... The CHP officer let me stand on the hood of his car to get a shot of the man's head in the bed of his pickup...
I have many but just one more. Two guys on a motorcycle on a curve on the freeway. Hit black ice and went down. Crashed into the guardrail. One man hit his head on the metal rail. Top of his head seperated from the rest of the skull. Nasty. The other guy went airborn and landed in the top of a tree about 50 feet away. The fire department had to use a ladder truck to recover him...
