The wind gusts were topping 60 mph, causing a dust storm with zero visibility.

As they lay down to sleep forever
The children’s prayers cease
Life shortened by a cruel dictator
A dove mourns an unlikely peace
A ruler’s greed cold and heartless
A conscience empty as space
Saddened parents cries bombard us
As the world offers a warm embrace
People have no clue how to drive safely. Leaving more than enough space to stop, not tail gating, speeding, racing to get in front of people.
People are dumb and inconsiderate
That and nobody is paying attention to driving, simultaneously.
@Noneya Bizz … and law enforcement and other highway safety officials don’t lift a finger. I laugh when I think of all the time, energy, money and attention that Don’t Drink and Drive has gotten …. great message, sure, but the percentage of alcohol-related fatalities has remained largely the same over the decades.
On the other hand, I have only heard about ten minutes’ worth of Drive Safe and Don’t Be an Idiot radio commercials.
But, I guess there’s just too many drivers on the road to make not tailgaiting feasible on daily commutes.
Darwinism
@grassfireu agree. I was stuck behind someone the other day, they were all over the road and varying speed. Guy had his phone directly in front of his face and was messing with it. And when he finally put it in the mount he had set up, thar was nearly directly in front of the wheel. We passed a cop while he was doing this, cop wasn’t even looking, didn’t seem to notice that guy was driving on the solid lines dividing opposing traffic.
🙏♥️for miracle healing, protection, strength, upon affected. In Jesus name. To God be the glory.
Why would you drive in a dust storm? It’s like driving into a tornado.
Yep.
It likely came on suddenly! This is a lonely stretch with 45+ miles between Hardin and Billings. no, it was not climate change either!!!!!
Maybe if I saw a zero visibility dust storm I would pull off the road before going into it. But I wasn’t there. I guess if it blows across the hwy when the cars are right in the dusts path there is nothing that can make it safer.
If you ever pull off the road in zero visibility they say to turn off your tail lights or you can get rear ended. Dangerous either way.
Mass killing! How many of these occur annually? Cars kill.
Then walk.
They have a highway? and they managed to wreck the 20 cars in the state :).
The reason for these pileups during storms (dust, snow, rain, hail, etc) is almost always speed too fast for conditions.
Lots of speed, low visibility and people not trying to pay attention. You’re in low visibility. Slow down but no people through that area all year round even during whiteout conditions drive like jackasses So I’m not sorry that they died.
Little bit of bondo, paint, and it will be good as new.
God be with all involved.
There is no such thing as god – and definitely not your evil christian god – in the universe. The whole concept is nothing more than simplistic, human folklore. Don’t you see, tragedy is something we have to deal with on our own in an unforgiving, indifferent, hostile universe? Don’t fool yourself!
She’s too busy in Ukraine.
God 😆 😆
@Leonardo You need help. Praying for you Leo.
That’s why I don’t drive in dust storms. Duh! 😏
Nothing you can do about them if they come on suddenly. Duh!
@RedRoseSeptember22
Yes there is. You apply the brakes and pull over. Duh!
Everybody just foot to the floor not paying attention. never drive faster than you can see
Speed was the primary factor in the wrecks and deaths. No 2 ways about it. You enter any adverse conditions you slow down period, not debatable.
No speed limit in Montana.
This isn’t Surprising when state troopers refuse to enforce traffic laws. Speeding, tailgating, lack or no use of turn signals, dipwits towing campers and boats without the proper mirrors, playing with phone doing 80 mph. Stop being a child when driving!!!!! Speed x weight x speed and weight of other vehicle or an animal.
That suck for those folks involved hope the are alright you can replace the cars you can’t replace people.
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:
“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”.
YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.
If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.
AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others their sins,
your Father will not forgive your sins.
“Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway”, we can use google search.
These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Yet a time is coming and has now come
when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.
In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
The sprinter van is/ was probably someone’s home. I hope insurance covers a roof over their head while it gets repaired
Maybe we should ban cars since cars are dangerous and anyone can get one and they are just too accessible in America. People die every day from car violence. we need to restrict cars more and limit the capacity of people in one car to limit the amount of damage that can be done by one car.
Time to ban the killer automobiles! I’m tired of these senseless killings and wrecks. Ban cars! There’s no reason a car should go over 70 mph anyways. If u drive a car, ur a lazy coward
Whatever the issue up ahead, never slow down
