Final Destination 2
Frankie, on Kimberly's SUV with the Biker's Girlfriend looking at him.
Frankie, along with his friends Shaina, Dano, and Kim were planning on going to a party in Daytona Beach when they were caught up in a deadly pile-up caused by a truck spilling its contents all over the road, killing several motorists. After Kim crashed her SUV, critically injuring her and her friends, a fiery truck began to drive right at her. However, it was later confirmed this was all a dream.
Death
After witnessing the crash, Kim begins to freak out once she sees all the signs she saw in her dream. Frankie and his friends urged her to move forward, but after driving a few feet, she stopped her SUV in the middle of the road, holding up traffic. When the crash occurs just like she predicted, her friends begin to freak out. After staring at the carnage, they hear a loud horn blaring and see a large truck (the same one from Kimberly's dream) heading towards them. The truck slams into Kimberly's SUV and incinerates it, instantly killing Frankie, Dano and Shaina.
