Not new, but don't recall seeing them on CDG. Truck took a nosedive into a deep muddy ditch, and the mud got scooped in through the broken windshield - they were unable to escape with the weight of the mud and suffocated.
You can see from the purple faces and lips that they survived the impact, but suffocated - may have been compression asphyxiation.
Not quite the complete set, but all I have.
I would love to hose these cute guys down, and help them out of their muddy jeans :sm (52):

Compressive asphyxia (also called chest compression) is the mechanical limitation of the expansion of the lungs by compressing the torso, hence interfering with breathing. Compressive asphyxia occurs when the chest or abdomen is compressed posteriorly. In accidents, the term traumatic asphyxia or crush asphyxia is usually used to describe compressive asphyxia resulting from being crushed or pinned under a large weight or force. An example of traumatic asphyxia includes cases in which an individual has been using a car-jack to repair a car from below, only to be crushed under the weight of the vehicle. Pythons, anacondas, and other constrictor snakes kill through compressive asphyxia. In cases of co-sleeping ("overlay"), the weight of an adult or large child may compress an infant's chest, preventing proper expansion of the chest. Risk factors include large or obese adults, parental fatigue or impairment (sedation by drugs or alcohol) of the cosleeping adult and a small shared sleeping space (for example, both adult and infant sharing a couch).
