I thought that was faked but it does look like it's well wrapped around there.

Fake as fook, been doing the rounds for at least 3 years now


check out the BLUE rope holding it together

door also looks particularly straight for some bizarre reason


IIRC, this was something in Poland or somewhere else like that, set up by the cops so that people would take notice and slow down

The impact needed to wrap that car round that tree like that would have demolished the tree.Its only a baby tree not a bloody great big thing.Also where is the rest of the car?lastly the autobahn doesnt have a limit of 155mph because it doesnt have a limit at all.its only recommended not compulsory.At least that was the case when i lived there for 4 yrs,unless theyve changed it?

The first pic, whatever the focus of the pic is, it isnt the car! It is behind the tree in that field! Also the position it sits against the tree is very clean, no additional bark removed etc or branches broken.

Last pic, considering there is a car wrapped around the tree, the kid looking at his shoes would ordinarilly be gawping at it.

Not much in the way of tyre marks or blue sheeting indicating body parts that would likely have resulted from an impact like that.

I imagine the crash was perhaps around a lampost or a pole of some sort originally and the wreck was photographed in a yard and photoshopped onto a tree.

My 2c anyway

some sections do have a limit(but not 155mph) ,some sections are unlimited.that looks more likely a country A type road rather than an autobahn anyway

Totally FAKE! Was posted here ages ago for something else

The story is a load of bullshit aswell 155mph erm nope there is no speed limits, other than in some sections which is well below 155mph. Another one is that escort will never do 155mph, and also its not even a German car

So to sum it up, Its a fake

Must be fake, there aint no signs of skidding or grass dug up before hitting the tree, and surely hitting a solid tree at that kind of speed the car would have gone up in flames !!

It must also be a very narrow Autobahn. It looks more like a country lane to me, going by the hedge on the other side of the road.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "wrap it round a tree" it is a clever hoax though

I don't care what anyone says, you hit a tree that small at 155mph in a tonnes worth of car, its going to go straight through. No bark is missing, no rubbing of the wood, no glass anywhere, no people, no blood, nothing.

The car would have split in 2 with that kind of impact, the fact it has string holding it together would also give it away.

It would be impossible too hit that tree at 150mph because..

1. look at the background, that aint no autobahn, i lived in germany for 9 years so know what they look like.

2. It aint in germany look closely at the number plate in the last pic.

3. they aint germans they are dressed way too normally to be german.(they have 0 dress sense)

there is bark missing from the tree though

just because it doens't have german plates doesn't mean it's not in germany

nowhere does it say that he's going 155 mph when he had the accident, it "implies that coming off the road and hitting a tree at 155 will see you being the loser

and, whats most fantastic, is the fact that string dissapears in the middle of the pciture!!!!!!

so there you go, proof that it's not as fake as it first seemed
