Florida man driving a special truck designed to safely absorb the impact of crashes killed after car plows into the vehicle
Story by Mike Bedigan • 4h

A Florida man driving a special truck designed to safely absorb the impact of crashes was killed after a car ploughed into the vehicle.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning on the southbound I-75 in Broward County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
 
The Scorpion Crash Truck – a specially designed vehicle that includes a crumple zone to protect highway workers – was following another truck that was moving slowly and painting lines on the road and shoulder.

Around 1.30 a.m., a pick-up truck towing a boat came up behind the workers but failed to slow down and crashed into the Scorpion truck.

However, the collision pushed the Scorpion truck into the vehicle in front of it and the driver, a 64-year-old man from Miami, sustained severe injuries.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Back to the drawing board - after the inevitable lawsuit.
