ESPN draft analyst has arm amputated after horrific Bronco crash

[broncobase1]

I would have liked to see how the 'cage' held up right after the crash. I'm guessing that they cut the A and B pillars to extract him.

It obviously did pretty well! It was a head on collision with a semi. It sucks to lose an arm but he is lucky to be alive. Good thing he doesn't driving a Prius.

Rescue ops tear them apart a lot but off set semi head on is brutal. Either got a sudden flat or was on phone is my guess.

I'd say there's a 99% chance he was distracted. Most likely his phone.

Steering input from the EDR from 5 seconds prior to impact would be helpful to determine if it was a slow drift, or a sudden turn of the steering wheel.
Unfortunately, Bosch does not record steering input on the Bronco.

Picture shows it was NOT a "head on" collision.

Looks to have been a glancing blow on driver's front corner
