I think you will find its aimed at anyone direct linking the pictures.

That is bad, unfortunatley for them they hit the worst kind of truck, a bulk tipper. THey have raised suspecsion etc for off road driving. At least with a normal truck they wouldnt have gone so far under the front

I looked at the thumbnails first - and picked one of the first pics where I can see 2 bodies on the floor in the background. Not sure I want to view the other pics
I agree tho - There ought to be something to stop you going under vehicles like that. Maybe a low rounded front to try and deflect head-ons. Over here some of the trucks (pick-ups) and SUV's are huge and very high up. Even my Focus would go under one of those. If you have a lowered car you arent making things any better for yourself

Keith B

Poor lass in the passenger seat looks to have put her hands up to cover her head didnt look at the pics of the driver - unsavoury.
Worth considering this when you go for that wrong side of the road manouver - jsut wait that bit longer and let someone else take the risk.

Certainly puts things into perspective!

I'd like to know how that happened - there appears to be a good line of sight down that hill so why didnt they put the car into the field or something? Can anyone read cheq?

i bet that stung a bit.

also i bet you lot will all jump in your motors tomoz and it will be like you never saw it and carry on as normal..

grim pics tho, i like the way the guy in the blue put his arm over his face, didnt do much to stop the truck tho

i didnt put an age on it,but kids of around the age of 14,15,16 should be shown this kind of stuff,if you had kids and they ended up like that,would you really have objected to them being shown if it swayed them not to get in the stolen/parents car,i have 2 kids and i know what i would rather them have done to them

Atleast ddeath would of been instant so no suffering.
Saw this the other day on another website.

Agree, this sort of pics should be shown to school kids.

the strut brace

i think its more a lesson on not buyin a seat by the looks of it he was overtakin as i cant see the lory overtaking anything on that road im sure that sort of thing is a regular occurance on the roads nasty shit for sure

Keith B

Personally I'd have taken my chances and put it through the hedge, into a ditch or into the field rather than face down the artic!

If the driver panic'd he probably just burried his foot on the brakes. We've all been there where we all know what we should do but when it comes down to it all the theory is replaced by fear and what you know you should do goes out the window.

Seen it too often where a young lad passes his test then thinks he can drive. Fortunately most of the time not much is injured but pride. How many of us have smashed cars up I know I have.

shocking
makes you think twice

Fooking hell! Thats is bloody terrible.

I posted something earlier on on a thread in the muppet room, but this seems a more appropriate post.

Few weeks ago i was with my mate who was working for a recovery company and him and a couple of others decided to show me some 'brains' in a car.
I didnt beleive them at first, but i did after!
Astra hit the side of a Celica at about 100pmh. The astra was non existant from the windscreen forwards. The celica was crumpled.
The 2 people in the Celica were both killed. The passenger was crushed to death in his seat and basically pieces of him and his brains were splattered round the car.
There was a piece on the seat, but because it was so mangled id have had to put my head into the car and follow a torch light and there was no chance i was getting that close to it,but i could see pinks bits on the windscreen. Not like blood splattered, thhese were actually pink pieces of...... well, anything. Also the door was on top of the 'engine', and there were pinky.browny manky blobs of gross stuff on that.
Also saw a blood splattered Z3 that a woman had crashed on the M56 and died in, which was creased and twisted across the middle. The passenger seat was about 5 inches wide.

Pretty sad.

Rippers

Ellie

That second link that ben just posted. omfg- the last picture!!!! his fooking head is ripped open!

I was down the local scrap yard when i started to look in a rolled KA. there was blood all on the seat ,steering wheel and dash....Surly they must be able to clean this up or not put it in the compound for plp to rip bits off?

Stavros

ouch

Seeing pics like this does make you think

I work for a recovery company and these sort of incidents are all too common, they mainly occur not because of speeding but people driving too fast for the road conditions i.e icey etc and also because of people driving like lunatics,speed doesnt kill idiots do!

There will always be methods to prevent situations like runner bars on the side of artic trailers to stop vehicle going straight through and cutting the roof off but there will always be situations where they dont work i.e my company recently pick up an escort that had gone clean through under an artic trailer, the runner bars didnt do a thing and needless to say its now a convertible and the driver dead!

Such a sad sight,im against showing these pictures to kids,rather show them to the college lads and useless adult drivers of this world that are creating the statistics!

Keith B

Well said MikeeB.

I dont want to click the second link after seeing the other one

Lets all take a moment to consider the consequences when you really arent 100% on that overtaking manouvere or when considering overtaking when there's a junction coming up.

Dragon

Agree with you on that one Keith! I've become a totally chilled out driver the last few years because of seeing a few nasty avoidable crashes and very near misses through stupidity!! Makes me think what a prat I used to be (Well I still am, just not in a car )

GT2

Dead people look dead, and they are deffo for real those guys.
They were doing about 140-150 km/h on impact and the Scania were
doing 80 km/h....i feel real sorry for the truckdriver.

There he is doing his job, and suddenly BOOM sombeody has comitted suicide under his working place

That's a pretty horrific way to die - not least for the people whom also have the job of telling the families and extracting people from the scene.

A question that does beckon, with all of these fast track and road cars many people have built and drive on here, how many of them are better disposed in this type of situation?

I realise space-age roll cages costing circa 20k are superb WHEN you roll, and give the car greater rigidity but can anyone explain what sort of protection we can add to help in these types of cases? Apparently the SIPS and air bags in that volvo did bugger all for the driver so what can we do to improve our vehicles to withstand this type of collision? anyone have any suggestions...?

~Vix~

that's horrible

RIP

Escy

you can do fuck all to protect a car from an artic. how much do they weigh? an air bag or some side impact protection won't do anything to help. the best protection you can do is not drive like a cock.

it makes you think, a very sad sight.

Lou Lou.

thats exactly wot i said to diamonds last night this is truly shocking and everyone is saying how much it makes you think but guaranteed everyone will get into there cars later and not give these pics a thought

very sad to the young lives that have been lost in these terrible accidents
