    We also have Tymco brand sweepers, ours are the larger 500x model, it has a International DT466 chassis, and it only has 2 seats in it, and a large center console for all the controls. So where did this 3rd person sit ? Did 2 people share one seat ?

    It looks like a 210 model, that has a Isuzu chassis. We also have several of those chassis trucks, and they all have bucket seats.

    through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
    We've all had our problems that's the way life is,
    my heart goes out to others who are there to make amends".

      It was the 210 model. Looked like a little toy when they loaded it onto theflatbead of a tractor trailler. It looked like the gray mustang hit the passenger side of the sweeper then the v6 hit it head on as it started to spin out before rolling over. No skid marks.

One drives, one uses a hand blower and walk the lot, the 3rd empties trash cans. The cars headed southbound. They started racing from a dead stop at the light , headed southbound about 300 yards to where the accident occured. People do not understand the danger ofspeed nbasic physics. I do. I was a passenger in a 1988 5.0 that hit a rock ledge head on going about 60-80. Survived with cuts and bruises. Hit so hard my seatbelt snapped in half right where it crossed the center of my chest. The car was buckled in the rear, the seats collapsed to the floor, oil n tranny fluid was all over us. A mangled hood on the engine block was all that remained on the front. The interior dash was missing every knob n button,gear shift bent in half, steering wheel broke off. We were drunk, young super punks thatlearned our lesson fortunately without killing anyone. Speed kills.

          Shit, that's just down the street from me.

          Lake forest is a damn drag strip - we see people racing on it all of the time. And there have been 2-3 bad wrecks on lake forest caused by people hauling ass. Even had a cop car involved in one that wrecked the stone entrance decorations to our neighborhood.

          And the McKinney police do nothing. Even when i've sent them a damn map showing where people speed and where to set up some bike cops to bank some revenue. I guess that they are too busy over on the east side

          When someones kid gets killed, maybe they'll pay attention then.

          <--has 2 teenage drivers

                    C'mon now, it really loses its funniness when I have to explain it
