What are the chances of seven people (some of whom were reportedly ejected) surviving a head-on crash? I'm thankful they are alive to face charges. I'll bet their families and friends are too.

"I'm thankful they are alive to face charges."

Little consequence really as the others injured in both vehicles are probably more concerned with who's paying the medical bills for their injuries?
