michael Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Another forum linked to this one: http://forum.scooterclubhellas.gr/viewtopic.php?t=13778&highlight= I can't read a word of it but apparently a bit of it might say: R8 driver was running at high speed when he lost control and crashed into the road safety barriers (not as safe for him)... As you see at the photos one barrier passed through the steering column hole into the car cabin and got out from the engine's rear door... Co-driver got out the vehicle unhurt but the driver got out bad injured with his both legs cut ... So we must be really carefull with our cars because even they got 5 stars in crash tests we are not always safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Holy ................ That's quite scary, just goes to show that you should keep an engine under the bonnet of your car to absorb some impact !! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Bet that hurt !!! Nothing a bit of T-Cut won't sort out. Think driver may need a bit of needle 'n' thread though for the old Mystic Megs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Ok just read it. Basically the accident happened Sunday before last just outside of Athens, Greece. The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and has lost both legs and severe internal injuries and is critical. The passenger was a girl and was wearing a seatbelt and walked away unscathed. The driver is a 23 year old boy fwiw. The speedo was jammed at 100kph (62mph) but it is thought he was doing double that. The car hit the barrier and the metal went straight through the arch and out of the back of the car. One of the tyres came off and went off towards a BP petrol station (doesn't say if it hit anything) Nothing about 5 star cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 right so to summarise, 23 year old showing off to his 'female friend', fucks up and goes into the barriers..... to be completely honest i have no sympathy for him granted its a nasty accident and its unfortunate that its happened but its his own fault for being a show off.
