According to several different eyewitness accounts/news reports of last evening's multi-vehicle/fatal traffic accident on the eastbound I-10 (east of Palm Springs) during rush-hour traffic, it appears that a blown tire from a tractor-trailer rig caused an intoxicated driver of a Ford Ranger to over-correct and then sideswipe the above Hummer. The H2 rolled-over several times...separating the vehicle's body from the chassis, as well as ejecting both female occupants from the vehicle.

Although the right/rear female passenger was wearing her seatbelt upon impact, she succumbed from her injuries after being thrown from the vehicle. The female driver of the H2 is in the hospital. Three others from other involved vehicles were also injured. The intoxicated driver of the Ford Ranger suffered only minor injuries and was arrested on-scene on suspicion of manslaughter and DUI causing injury, authorities said.

That is exactly why I bought my H2. That picture gives me the creeps...Looks too much like what happened to me... It's good to see that the H2 can take a beating though...
