Jeeeeze! That's a nasty one! At least I presume deaths must have been instant - I haven't read the link yet. Literally wrapped around that tree.
-
My God,that's horrific,wander what sort of speed they were going at to end up like that..so sad.

there's a lot of medical equipment on the floor in the photo with the firefighters
someone was being treated at the scene...
-
Flipping heck that is scary! :sick: is that a door wrapped around the tree?!
-
There was one guy who survived but was critically ill. No idea if he died later.
In the pic with the med equipment you can see another part of the Golf in the background.
They should show pics like that to everyone taking a driving test. Make them aware that they are not Lewis Hamilton and perceived skill is a world away from actual skill.
-

Yup. Shows the speed they must have been travelling.

I suppose it would be a bit sick to suggest that the Mk6's new design of doors clearly aren't up to the job.
I just read that one of the guys didn't die until later in hospital. That accident looks like a real horror story.
-
18-20yr olds shouldnt be in a car like that! My insurance wouldnt insure me for a hybrid turbo on my derv as i hadnt been driving long enough in a more powerful car, sensible idea to be honest!!
-
I'm almost certain that's a few years old, like as soon as the MK6 was launched.

I remember seeing it a while ago, weren't it his dads or something
-
Absolutely horrendous!! :sick:
It's not a GTi though is it?
I can't believe that the tree didn't snap in half from the impact??
-
Looks horrendous. Such a shame
-

Yeah, it's certainly been posted here before.

Depends what job they were asked to do - i think judging from the wreckage they were being asked to do a task clearly outside of their job spec. I wonder what the car looked like after impact - what we see here could be the result of cutting equipment used by the fire brigade but seeing as though a door is embedded in the tree in a mangled mess, plus 3 dead at the scene, even if this is the result after cutting equipment the original state would not have been pretty :sad1:

2 years to be exact.. A very old P roast ..

Really? :surprised:
I haven't seen the post before have you got a link :smiley:

I don't completely agree with that statement - I only had use of a 170bhp car when 17 and didn't come to any harm. If someone is going to push the boundaries in a car, they'll do it with whatever they have at their disposable. To deprive sensible individuals because the few cavalier ones cause trouble is not reasonable.
Education is a better solution than blanket enforcement of strict limits.
-
thats one nasty accident there's nothing left to the car definitely way over the speed limit :scared:
-

That's the one thing tree's don't do, move... Lamposts, telegraph poles, road signs all disintegrate in circumstances like this. Trees lose a bit of bark at most..

Not that far back Carl, but this has been posted long ago, as others have also said.
Story was put out 17th sept. 2009 :innocent:
-
Ahhh right yeah I saw that on the article. I thought you meant it was posted here 2 yrs ago.

Looks like a Photoshop, but it is unfortunately not a Photoshop.

....At the risk of being pedantic, trees do move - They flex and hence don't break easily unless subjected to extreme forces of Nature. The absorption of energy at impact with a substantial tree will be insignificant and not enough to save lives. :happy2:
-
Holy crap! Not a bad mess.... :surprised:
-
The tops of trees move, the bottom doesn't unfortunately. Where all the strength is
-
OMG...that c-class has been f'ed up by the tree!
-
Jesus

Makes me feel sick when I see photos like those.
My eldest daughter is learning to drive and it worries the s**t out of me that young people don't appreciate the inherent dangers in fast road driving. A car is a SOLID lump of steel, weighing upwards of a tonne, hitting anything at speed (never mind an immovable tree or lamppost) with a soft fleshy person inside it is only going to end one way, badly.
Just read thread on here today and one comment from a chap/lady was something along the lines of how he/she had a race in their MK5 with another person in a porka and beat him. So f**king what?? Keep it to the track I say and then maybe some poor parents will be spared that dreaded knock on the door.
