it appeared that the station wagon veered across the center line into oncoming traffic.

This seems to be happening more and more often these days. A friend of mine had the same thing happen to him when a smaller car veered over the centre line into the front of his car... Luckily, there were no major injuries.

I doubt they will remember much. Hope the survivors recover.
