Ground casualty from the crash of Delta Flight 191 (Lockheed L-1011) at DFW Airport on August 2, 1985. The aircraft struck a highway street light, and its nose gear touched down on the westbound lane of Highway 114. The aircraft's left engine hit a Toyota Celica driven by 28-year-old William Mayberry, killing him instantly. The cause of the crash was due to pilot error (for their decision to fly through a thunderstorm), combined with extreme weather phenomena associated with microburst-induced wind shear.
