Her skull was crushed when her car slid under a truck. Trucks now have bars known as Mansfield bars because of the accident.

I’ve not heard them called that. Maybe it’s a US thing.

I’m struggling to remember what they are called here. Rear anti-intrusion bars?

I remember a Perth truckie telling me that it’s a Mansfield bar a really really long time ago – I was interested enough at the time to go to the library and try to find out why – the lovely librarian told me the story..

you cant do that these days… tell a kid a gruesome origin story – we’ve gained so much but lost the niceties – ya know?
