Thanks to, Mr. Niels-Søren Bøgh who shared this information with Saab Community.
Very sad. From the looks of things, it wouldn’t have mattered what they were driving. There is only so much energy that can be dissipated from a crash, and only so much force the human body can withstand, especially at a certain age.

Very sad indeed. Hope the driver of the van goes to prison for a very long time.
Rest in Peace
