Deffo fatal, poor sod.

Must have been a heavy hit though, its barely recognisable as a car.

Thats amazing, must have been tankin down that straight at a fair rate of knotts.
Car is folded in two and the drivers door took the full hit, no wonder there in no rush to get him out.

RIP

I could dig you out a link with some images that are a *lot* more hard hitting than that, but not suitable for posting on rovertech I feel due to the gory nature.

Suffice it to say I would have a lot more time for adverts on the TV that shoes some of these sort of images rather than the stupid ones with little girls in black and white which mean nothing at all to anybody.

Harsh

As said though, more than likely racing or driving like a tool though, as I cant really see that happening to an Evo driving within the speed limits.

Is it just me or where there 2 people killed driver and passenger? in the 4th,5th,6th and 7th picture can anyone else see the upper torso and face of someone with a blue jumper then in the 2nd from last picture a body with a green jumper?

Phoenix3dfx225 · Post by **Phoenix3dfx225** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 11:49 am

Continuity problem in the advert I'd say with the jumper colour

(havent seen the pics yet - at work).

Think hes got blue jeans and a green jumper on , and tis one person. Looks like it to me anyway.

shen · Post by **shen** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 12:22 pm

I'd like to know the actual speed he hit that...to be fair if you slide sideways into something at any speed there's not much stopping you from getting hurt apart from a thin layer of tin and a window winder.

ouch!

Looks from that like it must have been a good speed to totally bend the chasis in the middle though.

Wonder what he'd avoided or what broke to do that... there's no way just blagging it down that straight you'd lose control, specially considering he seemed pretty good going in a straight line from the first few pics.

To me it says make sure you've got the best brakes, pads and tyres money can buy.

And side impact bars, and airbags

gaz200 · Post by **gaz200** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 12:49 pm

In the orange circle it looks as though it might be a body or face? I can make out a hand at the top, what ever it is you can see it in the other pictures.

That colour matches the one in this pic , which is clearly his jeans.

What ever it is, it looks weird lol

LOL yeah silly me .. he must have removed those cos they'd stop anything up to a 100mph+ impact. an extra smaller piece of tin and a balloon .. i'd put my life on them every time

You can have the best brakes and tyres you can but still loose it and die if you drive like a tit.

Agreed, don't think his choice of tyre or brake pad had much to do with that incident, unless he had slicks, awful way to go.

And the roof and the chassis.

it almost looks shopped to me (the person not the crash)

but it looks like excessive speed so got no1 else to blame but his own right foot

Null_Byte · Post by **Null_Byte** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 2:03 pm

I believe he had a roll cage as well, which in this case might have actually worsened the effects.

I would say that would be around 120+mph crash a pole is not a good thing to hit in any case as it has a small surface area and is very strong - but at sub 100 speeds you wouldn't expect their to be that much damage, although the accident would have probably still have been fatal.

shen · Post by **shen** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 2:14 pm

indeed was wondering about a good roll cage in there... but as said.. 80mph+ stopping dead even if there was minimal damage to the car your body would never be able to take the internal damage and whiplash.

As for Sheaf...as if anybody who frequesnts this forum would ever drive like a tit. I always stick strictly to speed limits and i'm sure everyone else does at all times too

you don't know he did drive like a tit...he could have been the greatest driver on earth but if tramming it and something major on the car failed there's not much he could do.

This is the driver, from the previous pics you can see the car is Right Hand Drive thus the body in the car is the driver and the passengers seat is visible on the left side nearest the camera.

The pole he hit is enourmous and rather bent. He must have been going very fast.

Post by **< KEVIN >** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 4:21 pm

he must have been doing over 100mph to get the car in that state

its practically halved in two!

paul888 · Post by **paul888** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 6:40 pm

Poor sod shows the reality of driving fast and brings it home .

And i'd never drive a car with 666 on the number plate.

BlueRover · Post by **BlueRover** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 9:13 pm

I can see a face but so can I see the man in the moon. TBH, I can see what looks like a hand but I think the face is an optical illusion.

As opposed to being halved into three?

Phoenix3dfx225 · Post by **Phoenix3dfx225** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 11:43 pm

Just bad luckk, he obviously lost control, but doesnt seem a novice, the first few pics show drag strip certificate and trophey, so not a newbie to driving fast.

southside · Post by **southside** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:11 am

If you look closely you can see both hands. Its like he's got his arms crossed above his head. I think what looks like a face is probably his chest/stomach

Edit: looking again is that a beige coloured baseball cap above what people thought was his face?

Just noticed something else, the reg number.
