Ouch indeed!

Interesting to see how the crash structure has folded at the front.

I wonder if teh drivers feet were ok ? No engine to get forced back .

Looks nasty, but how the **** do you crash head first into a wall at what looked to be considerable speed

Only comment... that hard an impact where there is a zebra crossing and a footpath.... man's a knob...

Not wanting to jump to conclusions but, footpath = pedestrians... crossing = pedestrians..... pedestrians = town or village

High speed impact in town = wanker...

That's what happens when you let a woman park your car

Never thought of that as an option but completely plausible....


.....any room in there for me faction

The chap was actually coming off a motorway sliproad and something failed. Unable to control it, he hit the brick wall. He had just come of the M-way, and i thought the pedestrian crossing sign was actually to the left of the car? Think he arrived at a T junction and went straight in to the wall

Very bad damage to his legs & back.

Victor - you know what they say about assumptions

Clearly a pedestrian crossing and his smashed car in this picture, but that's not to say that the motorway slip road wasn't 100 yards behind us - urban motorway sections go straight from motorway to slip road to town.

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about his injuries and hope he has or will make a complete recovery - lucky that no one else was involved - I wouldn't fancy being hit by an atom!

Cheers,
Robin

scary hope he ok now
Saw the factorydemonstrator ended up in a ditch recently. I am sure they are used to ham fisted jurnos binning there cars by now

oh, by the way he got out of hospital on June 16th and is recovering well

Pax is fine also.

Pleased to hear that

I can't help thinking the wall (and concrete plinth beneath) looks remarkably pristine... suggests the car impacted something else first?

Bit worrying that things are failing on relativly new cars... but it obviously can happen... take care with your one mate..

The wall looks completely undamaged Glad to hear driver now okay.
