The WTF News Files

Ya, that's tough. Unrestrained bodies, or parts thereof, can submarine into spaces you wouldn't think possible. I had a fatal on Hwy 401 where a K-car (remember those?) was sandwiched between two semis. The resulting car was rendered quite small. It was the Friday of a holiday weekend and we didn't know for about 4 hours if it had one occupant or a family.

But, here's what gets me,

Hours later, police received reports of a missing 20-year-old woman whose last known location, confirmed through a shared tracking app,

So, were it not for her "shared tracking app", ( what ? ) she may have never been found.

How many people over the years, without "shared tracking apps" has that happened too?

I was stationed at Emergency Services HQ. You are likely familiar with the location.

They used to load wrecks onto flat-bed trucks , cover with a tarp, deliver them to us for removal of the bodies.

Being on the bus, we didn't have much else to do, and HQ had the facilities for that sort of thing.
