Damn! wow, thats terrible

 

[5tinger]

Wow that's terrible.
Where is the other half?

 

[bearstinger]

Horrible! Those poor souls

 

[WRXtoStingerGT]

How though!?!?

 

[Sabs]

How though!?!?

It usually happens from a high rate of speed combined with a sideways or spinning car. The car's center impacts with a pole, end of a guardrail, or other immovable object. The front and rear of the car have a lot of inertia and continue past the object by separating.

Sad to see. High speeds are much more dangerous on public roads than a track, where runoff areas and padded barriers exist.

Yup. Stingers are fast. And if they lost control, they likely hit something very hard, maybe an overpass support, guard rail, etc. that ripped the car in half.

I didn't see any other vehicles involved either.

Considering the damage, the people inside are likely to resemble at best, ground meat.

No way that could happen at anywhere near legal freeway speeds. A Stinger, "ripped in half", I never would have thought it possible.

Maybe he was seeing if his car ‘felt low on power so let’s see what it can do’ :/

Now, now, behave. Isn't it weird, though, how one 155 MPH accident allows the car to still drive away; and the other accident catapults the front half and its passengers into oblivion?

Awful crash hope it's not a member here.

News reporter said it was a single car crash.

 

[WRXtoStingerGT]

That's horrible. I hope and pray they died quickly at least and with minimum suffering.

 

[DoctorStiches]

Yea. Thats not good. But they did crash presumably in a strait line... thats the worst part imo
