Rip to the lad such a shame. Sounds like a freak accident, I wonder how old he was having a heart attack ?

 

Everyone drive safe the cold weather is setting in.

 

There was another article on the same site saying he was in his 20s? Not the sort of thing you expect to happen at that age.

Gonna be truthful here but I don't think it was a heart attack, I've been reading all the news reports and non have confirmed it, the road he was on is straight, I recon he came out of the junction from the right at speed , got a tank slapper and ended in the tree, easy thing to happen and very sad he has died RIP

 

Edit

 

If it was a heart attack it would be more front end impact, that impact is from loosing it at speed, in the picture he turned right of the limestone road and ended where the red pin is dropped, that's the only way I can think of the car ending up their

Very sad to see

 

The car was definitely coming from the limestone rd direction as its taken out

the street sign just before the tree.

If it did fish tale out of the junction then there will be tyre marks on the rd showing

this, that does look like a plausible explanation for the crash

 

My thoughts are with the young mans family and friends

 

RIP

I did this in my first mkiv many years ago but luckily for me i missed the trees and a road sign then ended

up back on a service rd facing the right way after crossing the grass bank doing a 360 spin over it.

 

No damage but a huge wake up call, my car was totally stock as well but caught me out and could

of ended up so differently.

 

If nothing else comes from this i hope it wakes a few up that it can and does happen even

if you think you can drive
