Yeah, the burnt out car or the shoes sticking from under the tarp

The worst was the flatbed tractor-trailer with the load of bricks that ran between the guardrail on NB 95 and hit the concrete bridge pier for 295. Must have hit the pier at full speed and split the cab. Or was it the tractor-trailer that hit the car in the middle of the Varina-Enon Bridge, sending it to the concrete rail where it burnt - guy was from South Hill. Or the two guys on a Sunday morning that hit the sign pole on 295 and car burnt - only thing left of tires was the steel belts. Fortunately, only had a half dozen or so fatal accidents involving structures. Do want to take a moment for a shout out to our Virginia State Police with whom I had a very cordial and professional working relationship. Sa-lute!

Ugh, can't they just mold it and send to you? -- psychobilly 03/09/2018 11:36AM

Do they send you x-rays, or do you have to see the body in person? -- EDGEMAN 03/09/2018 11:19AM

This one is in another county so I sent medical examiner records and copies -- DonHo-kieHi 03/09/2018 12:38PM

Do you get paid for that? ** -- CPRVHokie 03/09/2018 12:49PM

Nope.they can actually subpoena records and we have to give them up. -- DonHo-kieHi 03/09/2018 12:59PM

Can they force you to do it in person? I mean, I get that they -- CPRVHokie 03/09/2018 1:03PM

Ugh! That would be tough. -- EDGEMAN 03/09/2018 12:43PM

Is it the worst way to die? Most victims die from smoke before -- hokeyhokie 03/09/2018 11:15AM

I'd say worst is if fire doesn't kill you immediately... -- MilwaukeeHokie 03/09/2018 11:30AM

Perhaps in a house fire, but not in a crash (JMO) ** -- 48zip 03/09/2018 11:19AM

When they hit bridges, sign poles, traffic signal poles and light poles... -- TomTurkey 03/09/2018 11:51AM
