You have no idea what races through my mind each time I hear a siren wailing in the background, rushing to some traumatic incident and a person desperate for their assistance. I think of the myriad fatal crashes I have covered in my twenty years as a news reporter and photographer, and all the tragedy and grief that accompanies them. This is a gathering of images from our photo archives at Salem-News.com of the last four years of fatal crashes in Oregon.

Big deal. You can go to a junkyard and see the same stuff. Why would wrecked metal cause anyone to faint or whatever? The reason it happened is bad, but pictures of cars are no reason to warn of images.
no excuses hill billy. drive slower, take more care, be more alert…. bobs ur uncle. Why blame everyone else. Set a good example and others may follow
It would be unfair to blame any one reason, but in Oregon we have to contend with: poor road conditions, four-lane freeways, rampant red-light running (usually by illegal aliens), drivers refusing to leave the fast lane because of the ruts in the slow lane, unsynchronized traffic signals at one-block intervals in most cities, idiots on cellphones, understaffed State Police (thanks, Dems!), drivers not turning on lights in the rain, and Seattle drivers passing through. It’s a regular death trap.
