Default Bad crash pics

Local. Speeding car crossed over I75 and hit the white F-350 head on. Killed driver of speeding car. Others are slowly recovering.

Not too gory, like the old days at CFOT stuff. Some of that was

I've always had an interest in car accidents. Not because of the horrible injuries, but the physics and dynamics and the "how in the hell did that happen?' aspect.

There was one posted here, or there, of a Hellcat all ripped up and the surrounding damage didn't make a lot of sense. It was interesting to me how each vehicle ended up that way.

Somewhere near there. It was Bartow county. Not sure, of exact spot.

Young boys coming back from Atl. in the white 350. They were hit head on by the car. They survived, but you just never know how close to death you come sometimes.

Hate to say it, but 'The CAR' looks like a later model black Vette, the front end torn off the rest of it, and surprisingly intact......looks like an airbag over the engine bay......weird.....wonder why the separation like that???

The whole field of accident reconstruction involves exactly that. You calculate vehicle entry angles, exit angeles, and create vehicle dynamics diagrams. Using momentum calculations you can figure all that out. There’s a fair bit of physics and trigonometry involved, but you’d be surprised how accurate the results can be.

This is the reason I don’t make a habit of speeding or driving like a maniac like a lot of people in this area. Breaking the laws of physics can have terrible consequences.

I once saw a book of crash scene photos where all the cars were from before all the crash standards. 20s-60s, but lots of 40s and 50s. Those were real horrors.
I see a BMW torn in half.
Maybe a Lexus

Best thing I ever did was start racing. I get 20-25 weekends a year of balls to the wall adrenaline, other than that, I drive like Ms. Daisy on the streets. No need to break the law when you can go like hell at the track.

That's exactly why we bought an F250 superduty for our daughter.
