Front end crash, driver not seriously injured, rear passenger dead? Was he wearing a seat belt?

He was one of the best american jews in America.

He did not cower to his religion or race. He sought out the injustices no matter the country.

It may be possible this crash was caused by the driver having a heart attack.

The 44-year-old Lincoln driver was treated by first responders for a possible heart attack, according to police sources.
It was not clear if he actually suffered a heart attack, nor was it immediately clear if he was stricken before or after the crash

Do you get head and torso injuries when you're wearing a seat belt or from bouncing around unrestrained? Maybe the seat belt caused the torso injuries and he hit his head on the side window.

From that video and photo online I can say that not many could survive that kind of crash.

Are you looking at the car after it was cut apart to free the occupants?

 

[who?]

The stomach injuries may be from wearing the seat belt above the hip bone instead of in front of it and below the hip points.

Sad news and a great loss, I've been watching 60 Minutes since I was 13 and have always counted Bob Simon as one of my favorites. Always thought he had a certain Kronkite quality to him. Another favorite show of mine announcing profound loss this week, wonderful. I remember being sick at home on a school day, on the couch with my parents watching CNN coverage of him and his team mates making it out of Iraqi custody.

Before leaving for Iraq, Bob noticed a mistake with his Red Cross badge and went to get it corrected. The Saudi who had given it to him said they were in the habit of putting Protestant on American IDs if the badge registration form had the Religion field left blank (Bob was Jewish). So he asked to have a new one printed out stating Hebrew. The guy says OK, took a step or two away then stopped, looked back at him in a way that he said made his skin kinda crawl, then grimly asked "You sure?" Bob was surprised, then feeling a little irked (or maybe wary/fearful) by the man's demeanor decided to let it go and just leave.

Good thing he didn't get all puffed up over it and let it go. Their captors would have phoned in their Jewish prize, and Mukhabarat would have shown up same day, whisking him away in a car never to be seen or heard from again.


RIP Bob, thank you for your work. You will be missed.

Reports I heard said no seat belt.
