Whose at fault? The driver or the parked lorry? hmm.gif

fatigue / bad driver decision to drive when tired.

the parked lorry maybe broke down there but if he was stopping for a snooze he should stop at the next rest stop.

but either way it should start with the car driver to make a decision

it's sad... they probably all died from the impact(inertia force) than from fire.. can't fathom a car accelerating all the way to impact..

most car crash tests are simulate at much slower speed..

yeah crash testing is done at the speed where the majority of accidents occur between 60-90km/h only i think, not at terminal velocity.
