A suicidal driver rammed a big rig head-on in Arizona on November 18, 2007 in what a Department of Public Safety spokesman called “the most tragic event I’ve seen in recent months.” The driver of the truck made it out of his rig just moments before the truck exploded into flames. Luckily and amazingly, the truck driver suffered no injuries. The driver of the van, who wanted to die, did. Authorities are still working on identifying this man. Police and rescue workers at the scene found a suicide note in the man’s wallet indicating this was a planned collision.
“To deal with the fact that someone willfully took his life and in order to do so, tried to take someone else’s. That is hard to swallow. You see the charred remains of a semi-truck, an 18-wheeler, which is now no taller than my knees. That’s hard,” Sgt. Tim Mason of the Phoenix police, said.
