[Merged] N/S- Henry Ruggs car accident in Vegas (update from old thread)

I was rear ended on I55 a few years back. Driving a Ford Escape, at a dead stop because of roadwork, a carload of college aged girls hit me at about 75-80 in a VW of some sort. It picked my rear end up, spun me around and threw me in the median. My Escape looked much worse than that Toyota, but I had so many airbags deploy that it felt like I was surrounded by pillows. Seeing that image, I'm very glad mine didn't catch on fire, but I wasn't trapped inside either, I just undid my seatbelt and opened my door. I'm wondering why she was trapped? Are we positive she was conscious? Or maybe she was dazed until the fire reached her? It's just a terrible way to die, horrible.
I tend to think she was unconscious, but I think I saw somewhere that an individual, security guard or something, heard screaming, but I wonder if that came from the woman in the Toyota or the woman in the Vette.
