Two families of 8 in a minivan got into minor accident 3:00AM with a car on I5 South to Los Angeles, stopped on shoulder(but not completely) and got hit by a semi-truck.
Fathers got out of front doors but 2 wives and 4 kids could get out of rear doors. They got burnt alive.
Front doors were open then why didn't the two fathers try to get everyone out from front doors ?
Quote:
The two men jumped out of the two front doors and began attempting to pry open the back doors and pull their families out. The doors wouldn’t open.
The minivan had caught fire by the time California Highway Patrol officers arrived, and the back doors were still jammed shut.
“My partner went and tried to get into the van door,” Williams said. “The flames came at him. He had to back out. I grabbed the fire extinguisher, and I tried to extinguish the flames. But like we said, the van burst into flames very, very quickly and we were unable to assist in getting anyone out of the van.”
