3. That's how my mother died. Not a police chase, but by a semi changing lanes

That's how my mother died.
A semi changed lanes, hit her car in the rear quarter panel, her car spun out, flipped over and killed her when the car landed upside down.
At Interstate speeds of 70 miles an hour, it was an incredibly violent crash.

I still have trouble thinking about it.
