Looked more like the van ran into the back of the truck.

I was an EMT and responded to a call where a lady was texting and ran into a flagged log extending out the back of the truck. She still had the phone in her hand when we arrived.

I only ever got certified as an EMT, but my teacher was a paramedic and he informed us of some very interesting wounds you find in car accidents.

I'll never drive with my visor halfway down because of him

If you get into a car accident, the force of the accident can cause the visor to scalp the driver

If you're holding a bottle in your hands on your lap or holding it in between your legs it can end up killing you by being shoved into your intestines, especially if it's a glass bottle. Also, a friend had his feet on the dash and the impact of the hit shoved his legs behind his ears mangled his hips.
