Found these on another board...

This happened in Cincinnati, the driver was not hurt, he wasnt speeding, he got cut off by another car and had to turn quickly to avoid hitting them.





I'm gonna say he was speeding.....

I know a wooden pole in the ground tends to be an immovable object, and I certainly expect that at 35mph hitting a pole would render the car scrapped. But to split it in half?

Me thinks the guy was enjoying his 420hp just a little to much.

Damn that is some nice carnage there. And yes I agree he was definitely speeding.

[ZIZITOPER]

the driver was not hurt

If that is true, he better get religion quick.

that did not transform into bumblebee. i would get a refund.

Wow!

Reminds me of that accident a few years back when I think it was a Ferrari in the LA area was cut completely in half, the person ejected from the car and survived!


I wonder how fast this dude was going. He was stupid for doing it, cause looks like there is a decent amount of cars on the road. (I know it would be caused by the accident, traffic forming, but there are at least still cars on the road).
I'd say this person who pulled out in front of him is equally as stupid as the speeding driver.

Looks like a 30 mph zone to me. Not speeding? Doubtful, unless GM is saving costs by building frames out of vanilla wafers.

QFT lol

[WGRocky]

hmm looks like American cars have Improved passenger safety wise since the 1950's...

[Zoxeeoy]

and how far is his bumper from the impact point??

[spklnraz]

ugh they dragged the parts off the road to avoid hitting them by other cars. Just look at that pic again, look where the car is, what your implying makes no sense.

[Zoxeeoy]

so tampering with an accident scene like this is `ok` in the usa? in the uk you get thrown in jail for it.

Yeah, its serious. However, emergency services have already come and gone. Do you see the driver? This is after the cops have been there and done their job. After that, the cars may be moved off the road.

Also, it is legal to move the cars after an accident occurred if leaving them where they were presents a danger to other traffic and pedestrians. This is ofcourse, AFTER the officer has done is investigation.

whilst i do totally agree - again you wouldn`t pick it up off the road and carry it down to where its laying would you - it would be pushed to the side from where it is resting ; coupled with the view in the first post - its at least 30 yards from the pole; what im trying to say is he was doing quite a bit more than 35 when he hit it

We all know he was speeding. The car would not be on the road it if it that poor in collisions. It never would have passed safety tests.

30mph works out to 44ft/s. If an object were thrown from the vehicle in a collision it could make it that far.

When the Enzo crashed at 200+ they found the engine block over 1/4 mile from the wreck itself.

^^ wheels as a rule dont get knocked off at 30mph though now do they

Unless the pole was moving towards the car at 70 mph. Furthermore, if the wind was blowing SSE at 15 mph, which way was the exhaust blowing at the point of the impact?

[popandopulus]

Ouch...

[Stetbrate]

I'd say the bumper ended up nearly where it was moved off of the road, as if it wasn't, Why all the debris on the road and pavement next to the bumper and grill etc ??

Doesn't look good for passengers in this car though, drivers fairs no better either.

Apparently this guy was going pretty quick too, but him and his passenger ended up in hospital.

Camaro driver must have been doing nearly 100 mph, unless they really are made of vanilla wafers.

But it did transform into a pile of scrap. Not a total loss.
