These pictures were taken by the Iowa State Patrol.
This page was added to C.T.'s work by me: the victim, Charles W. Hart.

 


I've already been removed. I'm told the white powder was used to soak up blood -
Seems to have been quite a bit of it.

 


The force of the blow appears to have ripped the roof off.
Fortunately, the shattered windshield remained in place.

 


It's clear from this angle how the frame was bent - it's made of two I-beams that
lie under the full length of the car. Tremendous force was required to bend
those beams like this.

 


Ain't much left on the Beast that ain't bent.

 


This is the 18-wheeler that hit me.
If you look real close, you can see some damage here.

 


From the front, the damage is more obvious.
Still, I got the worst of the exchange.
