My cousin’s daughter died in a car accident

Hi all,

I don’t really know my cousin or her daughter but I’m devastated for her.

Basically, last week or so, her daughter was in a head collision with another car. The car she was driving was struck head on by another car that drifted across the white lines and veered into her path on the dual carriageway.

Seemingly, she died at the scene and couldn’t be saved.

Is it likely she suffered or even knew what had happened? The forensics are struggling to determine if she was even wearing a seatbelt.

I just hope she didn’t suffer.

I am so sorry for your loss and for your cousin who has lost their child Thanks.
I don't know whether knowing the answers to your questions will help you or not. It sounds like a truly unjust situation.

I’m sorry. This is awful Flowers I sadly know of someone who died in identical circumstances and the inquest later said she would have died instantly due to the speeds and impact involved. So sorry again.
