Watch in HD!
TRT 00:46 – Raw footage, includes slowmo of crash
Location: South Mountain Park, Phoenix, AZ
This was suppose to be the intro crash video in our new “Mischief 8″ movie but I decide to post it up now. Release of the movie is TBA.
Driver Description:
“Well it happened at South Mountain park in Phoenix AZ. One of my buddies and I were out just having fun and driving until I came up on a deceptive corner, misjudged it and it happened. No injuries. The car was a total loss. Misjudgment of the road caused the accident.”

Doesn't appear he even tried to cut the wheel left.

Sarcasm? He hit rocks that were big enough to get the car airborne, I can't imagine it not being a total loss.
Horrible driving, I can't believe he didn't even try to slow down or anything before those rocks, just braced himself and hit what looked like the biggest one dead on.

doesnt take much to total an e46 m3 these days. Especially when you hit a damn boulder.

Lack of experience, thats why.

It appears that he did have the wheel turned.. But, if you look closely, it looks like the car was a little bit light/airborne because him having the wheel turned didn't do anything.

Holy crap he never saw that turn

He had it turned maybe a few degrees at most. I don't think he was airborne. He may have caught a little air, but not much if at all. You see when he hits the dirt from the side of the asphalt he was on the ground, so he had enough time to at least grab the wheel to the left, but he just held onto it like an idiot.

It's probably better he went straight. Had he slid sideways and hit that boulder he might have rolled.

Pretty funny since he's OK. But what a fucking moron, his previous car must have been a civic

There are many who believe a head on impact might have prevented the titanic from sinking. ;)

Great driving position. Seemed to be lettin ghte seat hold him in place in the corners.
Blind crest corner... Took it too fast and agve up on turning because I would put money on the front of the car going light and having NO grip as he came over.
FUCKEDCAR is FUCKED.

Two more things. I want to see the video of his father breaking a foot off in his ass for totalling his(the fathers) M3.
2 anyone else find it funny that his head came out the window and dayum close to hitting the camera?

He tryed to turn.. but the lift on the front end most likely didnt allow him to actually turn left.
CTSVBiggie

He BARELY put any lock into that turn. Probably turned it a little and quickly realized it wasnt making a difference. But yeah the front end defonitly went light over that crest.

Either way, I'm pretty sure he didn't hit the brakes, and he had time to aim for the smaller rock off to the left that was less than half the size of the one he hit dead on. Looked like he totally gave up and just held on after seeing he was fucked, rather than trying to crash gracefully.

It's a popular road for sportbikes in Phoenix as well. The outcome was nothing compared to what it could have been with a bike in the oncoming lane on one of the blind turns.
As far as what he did... Simple. Got scared when he lost road contact and immediately target fixated. I want to see the footage another 30 seconds in when the adrenaline starts ramping down and the tears start ramping up. LOL.

This ain't X-Box kid! Looks like he'll be back to watching TV while eating cooking and milk. Oh wait, scratch the TV...he's probably grounded.

maybe when the new Forza comes out he'll start practicing if he isnt still grounded.

Damn... I feel bad for the M3. Shit happens though. Poor driving, poor reaction time. That go pro is a winner though! Those suction cups are no joke lol.

it looks like he didn't even try to turn, not to mention thats probably the first time he's driven on that road so he didn't even know that turn was coming over the hill, total lack of experience, i feel bad for the M3....

I honestly feel sorry for the dude. I've seen hundreds of totaled F-bodies in a field at an area salvage yard, so bad things can obviously happen to even the best of us...

Lol. I never go hard on a road (canyon roads/carving) I dont know or havent checked out first. Then big rocks and blind turns like this come at you and you get a healthy serving of $hit. I remember hauling ass around a blind corner at one of my fav driving spots and I came over a bunch of loose dirt and rocks on the road right on the apex. All I could do was clench my butt cheeks as the car stopped 3ft from the canyon wall.

Another example of why being good at Gran Turismo does not make you a good driver.
