Results of an Audi high speed accident Not sure if this is a repost but thought it would bring attention to the results of high speed on public roads with one little miscalculation.

wow....Im not sure if its correct but if you look at the dash in those pics, the speedo is at like 90 or a 100mph. Also you can see 2 white sheet looking things, I hope there are not bodies under them.

I read some of the replies to it....
Here is one
__________________________________________________ __________
The Speedo reads 90.
Highly doubt it would have split like that at 90 KPH ~ 54 MPH............
What a waste, period. A3 / A4 Coupe maybe?
-Suffolk
__________________________________________________ ___________
But, If the driver paniced....most likely he/she did first reaction would be to hit the brake. Definetly not good in a spin...but a natural reaction. Doing this obviously causes the speedometer to decrease. So without seeing any skid marks and measuring the distance that they spun....to rip a car in half just by sliding sideways into a tree you have to be going very fast. Especially slicing through the rockers....detaching the motor, slicing the roof...etc is a definate sign that it was definetly faster than 54mph. Horrific crash definetly shows that anything can happen at anytime you know.

[EDIT]: Yeah, it may be KPH, I looked at the other vehicles in the backround. The ambulance doesnt appear to be American.

If you get hit from the side, your air bag will not go off, unless you have side curtain air bags.
Thats crazy ****.
