    I wonder if the hub/axle assembly on that Volvo underwent any recent repair or maintenance. And if it did, might want to look at who did the work and what was done specifically.

    Stupid news says they are seeking witnesses to figure out exactly what happened. Uh......the evidence is right there.

    I ride my bicycle a lot now, and it's amazing what you see at the side of the road. I wouldn't be too hard on the driver, as said, these are machines, and could happen to anybody. This driver didn't intend to kill anyone. It very well could be a repair facility issue. I'm sure some lawyer will check into that. Again, you can't have zero risk on the road.

    Tragic story. Mother was pregnant and had her other child in the car at the time as well.

    When you lose your loose hub....
