Mebane, N.C. — Two people died in a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 85/40 near Mebane Oaks Road at about 8 a.m. Tuesday, according to the state Highway Patrol.
A Honda Civic was westbound on the highway when it either stopped or stalled in the second lane from the left-hand shoulder, the Highway Patrol said. A Ford Explorer then rear-ended the Civic.
Two people were killed, but it wasn't immediately clear if they were both among the four occupants of the Civic or if the driver of the Explorer was one of the victims.
The other three people involved in the wreck were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Their conditions were unknown Tuesday afternoon.
The names of the victims hadn't been released as of Tuesday afternoon.

Obviously that statement is way out of line. If your god was so good then why are these people now dead?
Probably for the same reason there so many Haitians dead from the earthquake.....No gods nor angels have shown up to help them yet either, and will never show up.

Most drivers are exceeding the 65 mph speed limit.
If I was a State Trooper, I would spend the day in that stretch. It would be so easy to achieve the ticket writing quota.

Very easy to ram into a stalled or stopped car.
Wonder if the driver had hazard lights on?
