.....Gary 85 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 The military allowed me to drive some fairly large vehicles and Marilyn allowed me to haul her around in several pretty large MHs. All I can say is Defensive Driving requires that you keep a safe stopping margin between you and the vehicle in front. This many times meant I had to BACK OFF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wow! Saw the pictures of the car. Only half of it there. It's really squashed right up to the back of the front seat. The name of the person who died matches a name of a CM. Prayers for all involved and their families.

devores 382 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I don't know about anyone else, but I would feel extremely safe on the DME bus, especially after looking at the photos of the accident. If the stories are true, and the car was stopped when the impact was made, the bus struck the car with enough force to compact it to half its size and shove it down the road and into the medium. The bus appears to have zero damage to it. You would think that an impact like that would cause some damage to the bus, but it doesn't even look like there's a scratch.

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 The name of the person who died matches a name of a CM. Solange Blain was a food service CM at "Everything POP Shopping & Dining" located at Pop Century.The car probably died on her and she became a sitting duck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I haven't seen this reported anywhere else, but apparently a Disney bus was also involved in an accident a little later that day. Info is in this video near the end: http://www.wesh.com/news/central-florida/disney-bus-car-collide-near-epcot/-/11788162/21500392/-/tsw64kz/-/index.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't seen anything more about that other accident on the local news. It was probably a minor incident. Those are not uncommon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 It was probably a minor incident. Good! Has anyone figured out whether the DME driver was a Disney or a Mears employee? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Good! Has anyone figured out whether the DME driver was a Disney or a Mears employee? None of the DME drivers are Disney CMs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
