I've never seen so much debris. All the windows exploded on impact from the looks of it. '' ``this is one of the most severe crashes we've ever had in alabama,'' patterson said. He said evidence at the scene indicated three occupants in the van were ejected onto the side of the highway up to about 40 feet from where the van came to rest.
