WJ wanted me to post..

 

Who's vette?

 

Ouch!!!

 

let me guess...hit a tree?

hope the person is ok...whats the story behind the accident?

 

cant post horror pics like this and not tell the story behind it..

 

ouch,

tell me thats not out infront of your house dan?
love the drinking and driving tag on the truck too

 

no. Warren asked me to post it, I don't know the details.. he just couldn't figure out how to post pics.. LOL..

 

OK, this is my son Mark's friend's C6. The accident happened in Shrewsbury, Ma. on the access road to Cyprian Keyes golf/country club a few weeks back. The guy owns a successful sign/vinyl graphics business in central Ma. He lost the car and hit a tree. No passenger. No seatbelt. He landed almost 12 ft. up in a tree....was thrown from the car completely. No injuries from waist up, but severe leg injuries. He will be getting a pair of titanium knees early next year. The guy is a big rugged person, a ex-police officer, and in very good shape...at least he was....Question being...would he have been better off wearing his seat belt, or not??? Most people that see these pics agree that he's lucky to be alive.... What do you all think? WJ

 

BTW, the sign on the ramp truck says: "If you drink and drive....we get last call!" The guy was not drinking, but just plain overdrove the thing.... WJ

 

wow i cant believe the rear wheel snapped like that... i tpersonally wear my belt all the time but i think in this case he was luck he wasn't at this time.. hope he feels better..

 

Thank god he is still with us.


I dont know why an ex-cop wouldnt have been wearing a seatbelt, but maybe for this one time it is lucky he was not...

 

What do I think?

I think these people that buy Corvette's should learn how to drive Thats the 5-6th totalled C6 I've seen.Some people should just buy 4cyl familly sedans.

 

looks like the road took a dip at that spot, my guess he came over the hill going probably 100 or so and the car got really lite, probably started to drift across the center lane, he tried to corrrect and when the tires touched back down, sent him into the woods.

Lucky to be alive for sure... if he was in the car, I doubt he would have survived. I see a picture of a convertable like that and it reminds me why I'd never own one. I know a solid roof'd car would cave in too, but at least ya have something there to take some of the impact.

Hope the guy gets well soon, and for his sake I hope he can walk again someday

 

yup looks very similar to the one I had flipped over her back in early May. Passanger didn't have his seat belt on either. Was stumbling around the crash sight when we showed up 10 minutes later, drunk off his *** not quite sure where is "buddy" who was supposedly driving went... At least this guy in the c6 is still alive and hopefully will be able to walk again...

 

Well by the looks of it, if he wasnt thrown, he would be dead.

 

i wonder if insurance is gonna total the car? the mirror looks decent.

 

less than 10 mins away from my house... what an awful wreck, but I'm glad he survived, hopefully he will walk or atleast be able to drive again

 

It was just a lil airborn, it's still good, it's still good!!

 

Damn man I live in Shrewsbury like 5 mins from there and my girlfriend lives right on colonial drive, which is the street that runs perpendicular to the road that takes you to Cyprian Keyes. If you dont mind me asking what is his name? That sucks though glad to hear he is alive!

 

I agree!!
