re: #316 ObserverArt

Update on the horrific car crash that I mentioned yesterday morning. It really was even worse than I first imagined. The car, what is left of it, was a 2006 Mercedes sedan, not sure the model.

Mercedes make some pretty stout cars, and as I thought yesterday the guy had to be going well over 70.

Well, it may have been worse. The witness in the video below said the guy passed her and she thought he was doing 150! She may not know the exact speed, but from her description, well over a hundred.

It appears he ran into the metal and wood street light and telephone poles on one corner, then the car probably spun and was flung into the other similar poles on the same side of the street across the intersection where it exploded.

There was nothing but small pieces and maybe a bit of the frame and body wrapped around the poles left burning.

I still can’t believe how someone could do that. Something had to be going on with the guy.

Damn, that car looks like it was hit with a missile. DAMN.
