its at a salvage auction

[SLASH]

That is insane. Makes you wanna drive slow. Salvage, you would think it would go straight to the recyclers.

[lewie]

shotty the spare

[Simo63]

Jeezus Jes .. that's bad ... must have hit a truck or train head on to do that sort of damage. Obviously a fatal .. at least one .... but anyone else in the car would be hard pressed to survive you would think.

[ludacris]

At least the wheel cover is salvagable.

I'd say by the looks of it, the car is loaded with household items (is that a washing machine or a dryer??) Certainly looks to be full of household items so maybe leaving home? Then maybe leaving home in unhappy circumstances .... then maybe driven into oncoming truck in an act of self harm?

Purely guessing but whatever the reason, the result is big.

Was there much claret inside when you took the pictures

That would have to be one of the most inconsiderate dumb ar$ed comments to even make.
Why even post crap like that?

Do they sell cars here in oz, where people died in?
Because i think nobody got alive out of it.
Hopefully this car wasnt driven when the accident happend.

To piss people like you off obviously

And I'm sure you'd find it amusing if it were someone you knew involved in the accident? If it does happen, please post it up here so I can do the same.

i could have got a spare! kidding i got 750 on mine now and got a good feeling this one might hit 120 000 km before blowing up!

And yes those pics are an eye opener...

Look at the front left tyre, looks like its had a blow out. Could have happened at high speed and then lost control and went head on with something big. Weird thing is it doesn't really look like anyone was in the car, wouldn't it be all cut open from the jaws of life when they were trying to get them out?

Certainly has that look to it

Actually no I don't find it amusing. Where did I say I found it amusing? You must be a fit person with all your jumping to conclusions. Either that or you knew the assumed deceased?

Like I said it's a big accident and I hope nobody was in the car at the time it was hit. I was merely responding to Jes's first question "I wonder what the story was". I've seen many bad accidents in my time and to do that much damage to the Patrol would indicate a combination of lots of speed, no braking at all and a direct hit. Of course you can be unlucky but rarely do all three of these elements combine without intent.

Another theory is that the driver went to sleep, put their foot down and drove straight into an oncoming truck ... there .. does that make you feel better? Please note I'm still not finding the thought of human life loss funny so don't go jumping to conclusions again.

Of course .. I'm finding you and your responses quite amusing though

I agree as well, the tyre does look like it's had a blow out. And the pic showing the B pillar on the ground looks to me like it's been cut out using the jaws so I would suspect the car was occupied at the time unfortunately.

Could have been right rear fell off..
Nobody could tell how it happened, anyone of a trillion things...

maybe the dude fell asleep...

front tires probably blew in the collision. however what's probably more important is the missing right rear wheel. the other's, especially the front survived the impact but the rear didn't ??
could have easily had the rear rim come off and got thrown into the oncoming traffic.
could have been muiltable other things.
just hope its no one from here.

:(

[zuffen]

As a motor vehilces insurer for many years I had he odd occassion to deal with fatal crashes.

Let me assue you it is never easy.

Even 10 years after my last one I still feel the pain!

This was a biggie and salvaging parts may need to the use of latex gloves.

yeah they do sell them. when i bought a motor a few years ago from a wreckers in slacks creek, there was an au falcon that had hit a pole, ripped the boot/ rear end off, then rolled a few times completely crushing the cab flat with the door. never seen so much blood in my life, didnt even look like it was cleaned up at all. seats were red, floor was dried pools of blood.

didnt wanna drive at all for a while after that

Actually now you mention it Bruce, isn't there a problem with GU's breaking wheel studs?

GU and GQ with alloys like to launch wheels into into the scenery. usually wheel studs vanishing, and then breaking studs, not so much just snapping studs. i did a left rear, and so have a few other people i know of, but the common story tends to be right hand...


when mine came off, it wasnt hard to keep the car in a straight line..


and to chunderlicious, you should ahve said something, before a wrecker takes hold of a car they should be cleaned completely.

[garth]

F#$k me! that's quite possibly the worst 4x4 wreck I ever seen, very sobering, makes you realise that even in a big truck with bull bars you are NOT invincible....

Sorry, you are right, it was someone elses comment on first dibs on the spare wheel. Just don't see the need to make light hearted comments over something that may potentially have taken someones life.
I do however find the comment that someone could have done this deliberately a little overboard. Theres a difference between commenting on an accident, and possible suicide, but thats just me seeing it from the point of view as if it were someone I knew
