This is Real Sad. A couple in Carson City pulled out onto a road and another vehicle hit their Chevy truck on the driver''s side and pinned them to a telephone pole. The driver"s door was held closed by the vehicle who hit them and the passenger door was against the pole. The saddle tank caught fire and the couple burned alive in the Chevy truck..
