Explosion?

Probably doesn't matter. The driver of that car either died or is majorly ****ed up

He’s fine, he turned the emergency flashers on after the accident.

I saw an idiot like this yesterday. There were 2 left turn lanes, I was in the left one, which is also for u-turns.

Dumbass a couple cars ahead of me made a u-turn from the right lane in heavy traffic. I'm amazed he didn't cause an accident.

Nope they were already on. It is a good thing you don't make your money with your observation skills.

He was alive long enough to turn on his hazard lights and throw it into reverse...

That in NO way means the driver is fine.....the G forces in a crash like that can have consequences you don't realize for a few days... My daughter has permanent neurological damage from a crash less violent than that (not her fault).

However if the "hit" had been another 3' or so towards the front of the sedan it would have been lights out.
