Wow, never heard a thing about it, not even on the local TV news.

I can't see anybody laughing either, maybe a reference to the van in the title and not the driver?

Judging by the way the rear wheels have tucked up, there's a hell of a weight in that tree. I only hope that whoever it may be was killed instantly and didn't suffer. RIP.
