Makes you think sometimes, take it easy everyone.

He must have been going at some speed to have split that in half.

RIP

But seriously this reminds of me the kid that had an accident in his M5 in the USA aswell... it was said he was easily travelling in excess of 150mph on the runway to have his car split in half...

To cut the M3 in half like that he must've been doing some obscene speeds...

Yeah, I remember reading that, and the police accident report. Crazy facts like it was airborne for 100M and still hit a tree at 120MPH, IIRC.

Huge energy involved in this latest incident by the looks of it..

That's shocking, but shows what happens when a deformable object collides with an immovable object at very high speed at probably the weakest point of the car, side on. The forces involved must have been huge. Sad to think the owner was posting pictures in early Jan and a few weeks later, gone.

"Police say alcohol and speed played a part" Thankfully he only killed himself, as will many of these incidents it frequently involves innocent third parties.

Reminds me of the RS6 crash, although that guy was lucky and made it, without taking out anyone else.

Audi RS6 ABT Crash – Yes, he made it out alive without barely a scratch! - Carscoop

Not that it matters much, but the photos were posted last October, and his last post on the forum was on 7th November.

It's wrong to judge dead people, but he should have not gotten into the car drunk...

RIP.

Car strikes two trees before splitting in half in Wellington

 

[johnpidge]

Quite shocking - not great if he was drinking but he must have been going at some rate

Why?

Dealt with my fair share of fatal broadside car V trees, never seen one all the through like that, just wondering if thier fire rescue guys did that to remove the body and the photo is during the clean up?? just that the floor pan not really to deformed as you would expect.

Still massive impact mind.

OBJECTS to AVOID!

As objects "not to hit " trees are up there with the worst. You will demolish a wall-- even part of a house with a vehicle- even modern lamposts are designed to sheer off on impact but a substantial tree is the original immoveable object.

Would the fact its a coupe mean its less safe in a crash due to a further back A post?

 

[JOB-BLACK-RAT]

***, not really. Tree the width of a cricket ball can cause fatal cockpit intrusion when its behind the A piller at 40mph.

 

[finisterre]

the smashed front their offside wheel makes me think it wasnt actually a broadside. More like ten o-clock. But what do I know?

I know that he was going too fast for the road and or blood alcohol conditions. What a waste.

 

[JOB-BLACK-RAT]

going to go with a kerb strike on the front wheels with a brakes on due to pattern of alloy fracture, tried to search online for the report but cant find it, would be intrested to know if an finds it.
