    That all depends on how fast the VW was running. If the VW was running only 5-10 mph less than the truck, then the closing speed is only 5-10 mph. The fact the van was moving and the wheels were spinning would make the impact less severe than if the the van were stopped and the truck was moving 5-10 mph because there's no starting friction needed to be overcome.

    That is one ugly thing and sure it took a lot of work to make it that ugly. Have no idea how someone would put that much work into that. Ha ha

    How could someone that drives for a living not see that VW bus going down the road. That is one of the most unique looking vehicles I have ever seen.

    Sometimes custom built stuff like that tends to have wiring issues. It may not have had proper taillights on? Old Phone company conversions, where the p/u bed is removed and replaced with tool boxes and cabinets along both sides, were notorious for the taillights coming unplugged bouncing down the road.

    I hate to be the person who has to tell you this but I think your dad might be doing drugs.

    If your dad was driving 50 mph on the highway then he should find a route off of the highway.
