Car accidents happen all the time, but this one happened not too far from me.
The car was a Mazda 323F. One of the victims lived a stones' throw from me...good chance that car was parked in my street a few times.

WAPENVELD (ANP) (location)
Two brothers, 18 and 21 year old and a 22 year old man were killed outright, leaving a 19 year old female in critical condition, when their vehicle, a mazda, struck a tree after racing 2 other men.
They were last seen at a club, where they got into a fight, presumably with the occupants of the other involved vehicle. According to witnesses.

....the girl died a couple hours later.

A freind of mine has a 323f. Nice to know it crumples like a beer can. Unfortunate that they couldn't have learned that lesson without dying.

Holy **** !

That car was shredded to bits...

I suppose the lesson here is...

Don't drive a speeding tin box through the forest.

Alcohol involved ??

The fight was about purchasing X and speed.
I'll keep from judging about the drivers abilities :rolleyes1:

It's fairly simple.
Trees > car.
Even a really safe one.

Audi A3 v.s. tree. Tree wins.

So is Holland as crazy about their trees as the germans?

 

[crxter]

WOW! How fast do you think that tree was going???

 

[Tiersin]

I've never seen a car that mutilated. I'm amazed that they even had one survivor.

She died a few hours afterwards.

All I can say is.......WOW.

STREETRACING......for the loss.

My best friend in the whole world, and most likly my future wife died in a car accident involving a tree. Wasn't racing, just a very hilly area and she let someone else drive.

Ever since tree's scare me to death.

I hope I don't ever see anyone on this forum end up like that.

The driver of that civic walked away. Believe it or not.
A bystander pulled him out of the wreck a few minutes before it caught on fore.

Jesus Christ.

my thoughts exactly.

I've seen the Audi one before, it was posted on my friend's Audi forum... first response: "that should buff right out"

 

[SETI20]

I've seen an Enzo torn apart front to back, and it was fully rebuilt.
When they figure out to do that with people I might get one.

Too many dead people from street racing, I see it way too often.

On the plus side: no crxes were involved!

When I first saw this post my thought was, "I wonder how the tree is doing?" Its unfortunate all the way around. So much loss of life.
Its interesting to me that in these cases it really proves that man has got nothing on nature. Forged, stamped and cast steel vs wood...

I'd say a dumb street racer has nothing on physics.

hopped up car + acceleration + tree/pole/rail/ditch/etc = one dead dumbass.

I think that is the most logical explanation I have ever heard.
