Just caught this link. A teenager driving WAY too fast in way too much traffic launched himself at a bridge nearly 20ft up at least 100mph or so. Thirdgen's were decent cars for their time in crash safety ratings. But I don't think any manufacturer makes a car today that can withstand this kind of crash. The impact with the bridge support ripped the car into 3 pieces and ejected the driver. He is alive and damned lucky to be so. |

Bloody hell apart from ripping his car apart, did you see how much of that bridge pillar he took out [help] Actually, the driver is kind of lucky that he DID hit the barrier and go airborn. If he had missed it and gone into oncoming traffic he could have killed so many drivers on the opposite side of the road. |

Perhaps he should have been doing 110mph...
He's damned lucky it clipped that divider and it turned the driver's part of the car away from the impacted area - other drivers in the oncoming lane are also damned lucky the bridge was there, or there'd have been a number of seriously injured or killed people there! |

looks like the impact was rear 3/4 or even rear lights area - if he hadnt turned in the air he would be dead - and is it me or did he land and slide across the carraige way and a car near miss? seeing a body shaped object bounce after the car comes apart going left to right on the video.
looks like a problem after V1 shouldn`t have tried to abort ![]() |
