Manhem Vincente-Candelario, of Winchester, died from the injuries at the scene of the crash...

Vincente-Candelario was driving a 2004 Acura TL when he entered I-81 in the wrong direction and collided head-on with a 2014 Volvo tractor-trailer traveling southbound. . . Winchester man dies in two-vehicle crash on Interstate 81

Seatbelts, airbags, and car crumple zones do not function as intended in underride crashes — leaving passenger vehicle occupants vulnerable to life-threatening injuries.

Petition: Congress, Act Now To End Deadly Truck Underrides

Note: In order to raise awareness and preserve the memories of underride victims — precious ones gone too soon — I have been writing memorial posts on what appear to me to be underride crashes. I am not a crash reconstructionist, and I do not have all the facts on these crashes; but underride should be investigated as a potential factor in truck crash injuries and deaths.
