4 church members killed in Virginia church van crash

"According to police, the church van was slowing to make a right turn into a church parking lot when a truck pulling a trailer loaded with metal rear-ended the van. The impact caused the van to overturn several times, landing on its side. There were 11 people in the van. Four people died on scene, three people were flown to VCU Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, and four people were taken to hospitals closer to the crash scene for treatment of serious injuries."

The medivac helicopter's staging area (where they "hang out" waiting for a call) is extremely close to where the accident happened, definitely saved some lives. I can't believe someone would be going fast enough to cause such carnage. The speed limit is either 55 or 60 mph there, but I assume this was one of those vans that doesn't have seat belts.
I haven't read anything about charges except that they are pending according to WHSV 4 dead, multiple injured in crash involving church van in Dinwiddie
