I am looking for a graphic depiction of a semi truck hitting a car.
Preferably on an Interstate. It needs to be a drawing, not an actual
photograph.

Clarification of Question by scrawny-ga on 19 Jan 2003 18:36 PST

There are laws about to be passed that allow Mexican trucks and
truckers into the United States without inspection and without rules
for the drivers, unlike US truckers.  The US trucks are subject to
constant inspections and the drivers are only allowed so many hours on
the road without rest. Mexican trucks weigh twice as much as US trucks
(up 170,00 pounds), belch toxic fumes and can carry illegal cargo. I
am looking for a graphic that would show a truck creaming a family car
(or SUV) on the interstate that would be a sample of what could happen
if these drivers and trucks are allowed on our highways. I am willing
to pay for an editorial-like cartoon to depict this devastation. I do
not want a photo, but an editorial or DC comics type of illustration.
The price is negotiable and will be paid upon acceptance.
