yes very sad indeed.  :'(
I say charge more for insurance on the big trucks, b/c they are more likely to kill occupants of the cars they crash into.

I saw this on the Shop Talk Forums... horrible situation and I truly sympathize with the surviving family.  That stupid drunk woman will have to live that down the rest of her days. 

Also a sobering reminder of the lack of crashworthiness of these air-cooled VWs we love so much... true, it was a big pickup truck versus a small car, but it's like pitting a 40 ounce glass bottle against a 12-ounce aluminum can, comparatively speaking.
