bad wreck caught on dash cam

[West1]

HOLLY CRAP!!!!! The Burbon is brutal!
Im sure thats common on that highway... no center divider

 

[Angler]

Holy crap. That's scary and sad. I got really upset when a car lost control in front of me on an icy road last month and I received damage to my car. Seeing things like this really puts things in perspective.

these are brutal, how are you finding these?

I deal/work with people with DUIs and my supervisor is member of MADD and he sends me links for them. He sends me pics and stuff from DUI accidents also but most of them are pretty gruesome.

I don't understand how a van can disintegrate like that, I mean they usually get heavily bent and crumble, but I've never seen something like that before.
BTW never driven on ice/snow, so how hard is it to regain control of vehicle on snow/ice?

 

[JimmyNH]

you really can't regain control on ice, your pretty much screwed.

For those that can't understand how a Chevy suburban disintegrates: I believe
Force = Mass x Speed. Average semi truck fully loaded is around 75,000 to 80,000 pounds times around 55 miles per hour = bye bye large suv. It's a sad video for a small mistake of over correcting a skid.

Thats just crazy

Sent from my SCH-I500 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

 

[J.Lake]

yup thats a over correction. The cube van controlled the skid alot better. Physics dicates your dead. Sad but it happens alot all over the world

 

[Chrisplosion]

Too soon?

 

[J.Lake]

haha tough crowd?
