Sorry for anyone's loss. I'll bet that the Hummer is totalled though. Hitting that little car at any kind of substantial speed on one side of the vehicle will probably diamond the frame. We just lost one at the shop because it got totalled from needing add'l frame work.
Again, my condolescenes to the family but it was definitely an accident...

Jules,
Really sorry for your terrible loss.
But.....
A pure accident. It could have been any vehicle. Mabye even a semi truck. Any vehicle smaller than a Hummer would have done the same damage but possibly harm the rear ending vehicle as a result.
The bright side to this is that only one family has suffered and not both. I'm happy that the Hummer owners were not harmed. Not by the fact they were driving the Hummer. But the fact that they are innocents also not responsible for the Sentra's demise leading to your relative's deaths.
It was an accident. I would not lose sleep if I were in the Hummer owner's position. I have a family too.
Maybe blame should be to the electrical failure or possible abuse of it's maintinence.
Again sorry for your loss in this tragic ACCIDENT. And glad to see the Hummer owners unharmed in an ACCIDENT they had no fault in.

No DRTY bumper?
Sucks for that family, but appears to have been a complete accident.

Me thinks you am lying.
Also, I just noticed this in the story:

The Hummer had a large metal accessory bumper on the front end and had relatively minor damage compared to the Sentra, which lay crumpled against a concrete sound wall.
Such bullshi<span class="ev_code_BLACK">t</span>. It was totally stock.
