December 7, 2013 Former Exec Robert Dellinger Kills Couple Crossing NH Median in Suicide Attempt Former Fortune 500 executive Robert Dellinger told police he was only trying to kill himself when he drove his pickup truck across the grassy median of a highway and slammed into an SUV. It went airborne and sheared off the top of the other car, killing an expectant couple in connection with the crash, which killed 29-year-old Jason Timmons, 24-year-old Amanda Murphy, who was eight months pregnant and their unborn child, all from Vermont. Dellinger is charged with reckless manslaughter. Dellinger argued with his wife over his medications, left the house and began to drive around, growing despondent.  Dellinger's lawyer said he wasn't attempting suicide, but rather suffering from delirium due to a "toxic regime" of medications. February 2015 Dellilnger pleaded guilty to negligent homicide, and  also pleaded guilty to assault for the death of their fetus. Estate of victims sues and seeks damages for "wanton, reckless and grossly negligent" conduct.

On April 10, 2014 a California FedEx truck cross the media to hit a charter bus killing 9 and injuring 37 for no known reason.

Analysis:  Motive was a suicide attempt, not just a random accident, which shows that at least some of these are stated to be deliberate, not just a car going out of control. However the lawyer notes that he chose a spot on the median where he would harm someone else going the other way, so it could also have been deliberate murder, and suicide might be just a cover story.

April 10, 2014 California FedEx Truck Hits School Charter Bus In Orland, north of Sacramento California, FedEx semi-trailer truck on Interstate 5 crossed the grassy median. It hit another car and rammed into a charter bus carrying high school students visiting a Humboldt State College preview from Los Angeles. Both vehicles burst into flames, and both drivers were killed. 10 were killed and 36 or 37 were injured. No cause or motive for the crash was revealed, though in 2013 Robert Dellinger deliberately drove his car across the median of a New Hampshire highway, killing 2 when it sheared off the top of another car
