SUV crash so intense - imprint made on concrete wall! PIC included

[0]

The southbound Southfield Freeway is closed at Interstate 96 after a crash this morning took the life of the driver of a black SUV. According to reports, the vehicle crashed into a retaining wall of the freeway at about 3:30 a.m., demolishing the SUV and killing the driver. Motorists told troopers from the Detroit Post of the Michigan State Police that the SUV passed them at a high rate of speed, lost control and then crashed into the wall.

However the MSP are reporting that skid marks show that the vehicle most likely crashed down onto the freeway from a surface street, possibly Plymouth Road. Ramps from east and westbound I-96 to the southbound Southfield are also closed.

Alternate routes include Greenfield and Evergreen roads. State police will stay on the scene until the crash is turned over to the Detroit Police Department Fatal Squad.

Navigators are death traps. They just don't stand a chance out there....they need to make them bigger and safer.

Why someone would by a navigator is beyond me

holy god, why would you be going 100+ in an SUV anyways?

Darwinism at its best.

I want to know how much the driver had to drink. Unless you're running from cops, you shouldn't ever hit 100+ in an SUV.

The imprint on the concrete is pretty cool

 

[sonoma1993]

surprise no one on the southfield freeway got caught up in that wreck. Seeing a damn suv come flying across the freeway and smacking into that concrete wall. I would think, that would freak people out and cause them to panic and crash.

I'm still tempted to drive by and take pictures of the imprint since it'd only be a 20 minute drive for me to get there.

Hmm, Thats going to leave a mark.

Hitting the wall at 100+ no matter what car you were driving will not end well.

refuted with one word I hate: Nascar

edit: Why are Nascar and other race cars so safe - drivers routinely hit the wall at speeds wayyyy above what most people drive at... I'd gladly pay an extra grand or so for a car with such good safety. Then again, who knows how a Nascar car would come out if it were t-boned by an SUV...

 

[xanis]

Damn that was one intense crash... seeing that imprint is crazy. :shocked:

do they hit head on?

I thought not...

It's all about that massive decelleration with a head on...nothing can save your insides from that...

i think he came off a street above and hit sideways straight on the wall, by the looks of the marks on the wall...

 

[waggy]

This thread is racist! what does ot matter that the color of the SUV was black!?

Nobody around here will be willing to drive a car with full cage, wearing a five-point safety harness and HANS device.

yeah was going to mention this.

100mph into a wall is fine..if you in a nascar type car.
