Car v. TREE

[proudfirefighter]

Accident happened a while ago, thought I'd share.


Horrific looking damage to the car, the driver was shockingly barely injured.

That pole is disguised as a tree. Pretty cool.

OOps-this is what happens when I post after coming off a long shift.

Wow that's a nice hit! That driver is lucky to be alive! Do we know how fast he was going to do all of that damage?

hard to tell what the car was


looks like it might have been a Pontiac


so 5mph?

 

[proudfirefighter]

The road is a 55mph road, although much to my annoyance, many people miss the 55mph sign and do 45 on that road.


Day of the crash though it was pretty icy out-I don't know exactly what speed they were going at, but I'd guess anywhere from 40-65.

40-65 would do it! Especially if it was a Pontiac! Lol Thanks for sharing!

I always find it amazing how you cannot judge the severity of injuries based on vehicle damage. Case in point, if I rolled up n this, I'd be thinking serious injury/fatality. I've been to fatals where there was very little damage to the vehicle.
