Default Effects of 100mph straight into something solid -conten warn

One of those "stop and think" times, although i cant say that it will change anything i do as i dont believe i take significant risks anyway.

Imagine the suffering of his friends and family.


But this is a car reportedly crashed at around 100mph, which im sure most of us think as not particuarly going very fast.

Quite disturbing images so dont look if you are easily upset.























Yes that is the drivers hand hanging out of the wreckage

Might be better if this is more a condolences thread than a joking one mate, he is in the modified car scene and ths is recent, so its likely some of his friends may see this and could be the sort to be offended.

By all means start a seperate post for that sort of talk if you want to though obviously, its a free country and all that

Unfortunate that he managed to twat a bridge in what looks to be the open countryside.


Can not say i am surprised to see the result TBH. i'd expect that to happen at 100 mph into a stone bridge support. Feel sorry for the friends and family though.

Trees and concrete don't give way, that's for sure.

But how did it happen????

Looks like a straight enough road.

Condolences to his family.

I dont have any details of exactly how it happened,

I guess suicide is going to be suspected in these sort of circumstances, or maybe he nodded off at the wheels, or swerved to avoid something?

I doubt anyone will have a certain answer to that TBH

now why would you pay rispects and all that to somebody you dont know or infact know the details about, getting a concience now people are moanin? i think it was the shock aspect you went for in that picture mate shame on you for totally disrespecting that dead man bet if it was a joyrider youd be goin 1 less n all that how do you know he aint? hypocrytical mofo

oh r.i.p
Didnt know him so didnt pay any repsects particuarly.
I just said my thoughts were with his friends and family.

I posted the picture because it was released to show people what can happen, we all get a bit bravado at time thinking we will walk away if anything goes wrong, so i just posted to remind people that they may not.

I guess thats shock factor to a certain extent, so yes i guess thats why the pictures exist.

TBH Chip I don't see what purpose posting the pictures serves (especially the 2nd one and even more so in high res) other than pandering to the ghouls.
My sincere condolences to the guys family.

Not my pictures to play around with in terms of resizing etc.

They are only high res if you click them anyway.

They were released in hi res for shock factor though i suspect, as presumabley those people close to him feel that if his death scares others into thinking a bit more about safety when driving then its something positive to come out of the whole tragic affair?

Fair comment as I didn't realise they were released by those close to him. Like you said the nature of the collision is open to question but thats for an inquest to determine.
Personally I dont need graphic reminders as I have witnessed road fatalities but if it makes some of the young crackerjacks think twice its served some purpose.

these pictures were taken from a railay investigation. the guy was doing over 100 and no other car involved, had a problem at home , report via police, so as no skid marks believe it to be suicide.
