Havard Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It'll be a miracle if the passenger survives that degree of solid tree encroachment into the cockpit. This. I hope they are ok, side impact into a solid object can never be good. I am still wondering what kind of speed you would need to be doing to get that amount of damage, not much on a slippery road and heavy car. Once you are on the grass or ice, you are a passenger unfortunately. RWD, auto and lots of HP is never a good thing at this time of year. H.

Dnk Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Dont think you need to be going that quick to be honest, 30 mph 1500 kg to a dead stop = ouch in the weakest part of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraGZaerotop Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Fecking he'll hope they're ok, also so sad to see another supe smashed to bits. My auto Targa is bpu and keep Mine is locked up winter time, don't drive it this time of year unless it's a proper nice day. These cars in the wet can be greasy weasels , be careful people it's not worth risking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I’ve spoken with the driver and he is not the best shaken up...the passenger on the other hand is still in hospital and awaiting surgery for a broken hip and pelvis. This was a crash a low speed and down to the car been a heavy object on greasy roads is not the best combo....we are all entitled to our opinions on this but unless you have the facts best keep them to ourselves and just hope the passenger a good friend of the driver has a good recovery as it’s not the best start to a new year.

SPG Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) I hope they both pull through their injuries, looks very nasty on the passenger side. Cars can be replaced as we all know. I’m glad I tucked my cars away, for my own safety. Edited January 7, 2018 by SPG (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Best wishes to driver and passenger for a full and speedy recovery. Can't imagine a pelvic injury being particularly easy to come back from 100%, but at least there is no mention of head or brain injuries for either of them.

bignum Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Wow that looks bad, a side impact like that is never good and as said hope both driver and passenger make a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ouch, hope everyone recovers. Even with the heavy duty door impact bars a tree will make quite a dent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 You can see from the last picture just how much energy was in the impact from how deformed the roof is and how bent the car is, and how far the tree encroached into the car. Hope the passenger pulls through. He looks like he had first class help on scene anyway, with what looks like an air Dr there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjam92 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 This is near me but I don't recognise the car, the driver can't have had it long. Wish the passenger a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ouch. As others have said worst accident for those in the car. Side on against a solid object. I hope the passenger has a speedy recovery and the driver is ok. That is a right mess. Wonder what it would have been like without the roll cages?

rider Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Supra was up for sale on FB for £2500. No insurance would be settled that quickly so If it has been offered for sale by the owner that would mean the owner either didn't have comprehensive insurance or any insurance, either would be a bit dumb.
