There are three dead on the scene, covered with black nylon.
The van was completely crushed by the force of the impact. Apart from the chassis, nothing was left of it. The highway guardrail has also been destroyed during the crash.
The truck that hit the van was moving so fast that it continued for another 100 meters after the collision before the driver managed to stop it.
