Krush Founder Gina Ashe, After Horrific Car Crash, Has New Lease on Startup Life

Startups are hard enough without life-altering and life-threatening car accidents just before you launch.

My hat's off to her for sticking with it. And to her team for sticking with her.

Nitpick: a Cadillac CTS hardly has a "huge engine up front." In a head-on 85MPH crash (closing speed would make this similar to hitting a parked car at ~125MPH), what likely saved her was a lot of luck and wearing a seatbelt.

The engine is a big block of hard metal, not what you want between you and another car in a head on crash anyway.

What the CTS does have that you do want in a head on is a nice long bonnet. This provides a nice big crumple zone in front with which to reduce the amount of g-force on the driver and passengers.

point of the story: drive a f big car/truck, not a prius

and thank god she's alive & sad about other people dying
