Memo To Self

Avoid becoming involved in a traffic accident with a cement truck.

Authorities say two women have died after a cement truck crashed into their car and partially filled it with cement. S.C. Highway Patrol Cpl. Paul Brouthers said that the women were in the front seat of a Honda that abruptly changed lanes in front of the cement truck on Interstate 26 Monday afternoon.

He said the truck couldn't stop and crashed into the Honda, landing on top of the car.Pete Rogers of the Charleston Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad says cement started to fill the car and it took 20 rescuers to dig out the women, who then had to be cut from the car.
