With all the accidents people are posting here... July 20, 2005, 03:37:47 PM ...I figured I'd post this one. My sister last night stuffed her Cavalier into the grille of an oncoming Caravan (The Caravan crossed the center line and hit her head on). Luckily this was on a residential street and speeds were low. She suffered minor injuries (cracked ribs, bruised shins) and the car got totally smushed. One less Cavalier on the roads, anyway.

It hit a tractor trailer head on. There were no survivors (except the tractor trailer driver), according to the wrecker yard operator. I have never seen such a f*cked up truck: Quote Selected

Reply #2 – July 20, 2005, 03:59:49 PM Woah, that truck reminds me of the first sn-95 i saw at a boneyard.... drivers side seat was all the way over to the passender side! I kept thinking there's no way anyone survived that. Cracked ribs doesn't sound too minor to me!!! ....mine are hurting just thinking about it. Hope your sis is doing well. :) Quote Selected

Reply #5 – July 20, 2005, 04:19:06 PM Quote from: 86Tbuzzardyou forgot the smashed impala cop car No I didn't, I got pictures - I worked at the place it was built, so I figured the guys would be interested. Apparently this car was involved in a high speed chase, after some guys that filled up their car with gas and screwed off without paying. The car went off the road and burst into flames. The officer, apparently, was unhurt. Pics of the Impala: First pic shows the computer console. You can just make out what used to be a magnesium-cased Panasonic Toughbook laptop. Magnesium burns very hot, BTW. you can also make out the equipment console that used to hold a Federal Signal PA300 siren, a Motorola Astro radio, and a Code 3 3681 switchbox. Inside the console was a cellular modem with GPS capabilities. There was probably over $10,000 worth of equipment in that console, including the console's $900 cost Second pic shows what used to be a $2500 Code 3 Excalibur light bar. Seen better days, to be sure Third pic shows the front of the car (and the f*cked up Mazda truck in the background) This was a very expensive crash... Quote Selected

Re: With all the accidents people are posting here... Reply #7 – July 20, 2005, 05:13:56 PM Hope your sister gets well soon.Wow that truck is just incredible. Every once in a while I'll pass by something like that in a junkyard and it really can make you step back and think. Always has some kind of effect on my driving. Well atleast for the ride home from the junkyard. Quote Selected

Re: With all the accidents people are posting here... Reply #9 – July 20, 2005, 07:22:27 PM The truck reminds me of a mess that just happened less than 2 weeks ago here. Across the street in the yard of my friends neighbors house, a young girl hit a tree and died. Apparently she had been going somewhere between 90-100mph. She got squirelly left the road and wrapped her car around the tree. The car ended up in 3 pieces, the majority around the tree, the engine in the neighbors driveway turn around, and the trunk/rearend in the next neighbor down's driveway.It was a total mess and the girl was pr0nounced dead on scene. My friend was unfortunate enough to have seen her body as he was the second person on scene to help. It ends up we knew the girls family indirectly, and I had just left to go home less than an hour and a 1/2 earlier. The whole ordeal kinda killed the buzz my friends and I had as we had just gotten home from our vegas trip the night before. Definately a sobering incident. Quote Selected

Re: With all the accidents people are posting here... Reply #13 – July 21, 2005, 11:38:58 AM Quote from: Thunder ChickenHow soon we forget our roots :disappoinDon't worry about me remembering my roots. I am New Scot, first and foremost, then Canadian. Everyone I use the 'newfie' term with knows I'm making fun of their ignorance, because I've set them straight in the past. But you have a point. I can't remember the last time I didn't use Newfie when talking about people from home. I warned our secretary that I may be 'talking like a newfie these next few weeks' because the in-laws are in town for a couple of weeks. She had already noticed a change in my accent. But she knew instantly that I only said newfie to poke fun at westerners who don't know the difference. Quote Selected
