Making Sense of Traffic Crash Videos

It was a tragic, horrific car crash on I-275 in Tampa. A driver was going south in the northbound lanes on an early Sunday morning. He ran head on into a car carrying four University of South Florida students.

The fiery crash killed all five. And it was all caught on video by another driver in the southbound lanes.

Newspaper websites and TV stations aired all or part of that video, but should they have? WUSF's Craig Kopp talks with Kelly McBride of the Poynter Institute's "Sense-Making Project".
