9/8/2008 i was traveling on ir80 & i must of swerved a bit & the van struck a dot paddle marker @ humboldt mile marker 45 in nevada. the van became engulfed in flames & overturned sideways at least 4 times. my mother & father parrished as a result of this accident, burned so much they couldn't recognize their gender. my wife & i escaped with her getting severely burned about 76% & i about 68%, we was transported to humboltd hospital then air transported to u of u burn center salt lake city utah where she spent about 7 months in ccu burn unit & i about 3 months. the marker post was uprooted & struck the undercarriage of the van & detached the fuel line then punctured the cross member & depositing the fuel line in the hole the fire started then we overturned with a series of explosions. a mechanic explained the severed fuel line was a return line from the evap.canister to the fuel tank & that the fuel system stayed at 49 psi being fed by an electric fuel pump i remember driving speaking with my father, my wife & mom was sleeping in the back seat then i woke up on fire trying to escape the wreckage, i hollered @ my wife & i rolled out of the van. my wife checked mom she was dead then another explosion blew my wife to the front seat between where my dad & i sat, she grabbed dad but he wouldn't come cause of mom. two people moved my wife after my father shoved her out. i started back to the van when another explosion engulfed my father. i dropped to my knees & told a bystander i just killed my mother & father. my children & family hired a big time lawyer & it was looking good until chrysler filed for bankruptcy & cleared them from all lawsuits prior to their bankruptcy. my lawyer had to walk away with a $30,000 loss, she was 44 & i was 48 years old prime time of our life we still battle health issues from the burns & never got a red cent from chrysler. *tr
