Shit the bed! - Niall - 14-09-2014

Quite worrying - those Elise/VX220's are normally surprisingly strong in an accident even if they tend to look a mess due to clam damage, from what I've seen anyway, yet that one has disintegrated.
Doesn't look like a cut and shut at a glance, so I can only assume the impact force was massive (Seat doesn't look that bad mind) - amazing the guy is alive, although it's unclear how seriously he's injured.

Jesus there's nothing left!
Another reason not to buy a '220 then!

the 220 is an elise.. just with a different body..
he must have been going some fking speed for that to happen
RE: Shit the bed! - Matt-Rallye - 14-09-2014
Looks like the vx220 was hit by the seat at high speed. What a mess though!
RE: Shit the bed! - toseland - 14-09-2014
he hit the Seat ibiza,
both drivers in stable but serious condition in hospital, one with neck and spinal injuries other with 2 broken legs and a cracked wrist..

Christ, he has had to been given it some for that to end up looking like that! you think he had hit a tree!

Reminds me of this Audi RS4 crash, where the car was opened like a tin of beans- http://www.themotorreport.com.au/352/audi-rs4-crash
RE: Shit the bed! - Eeyore - 15-09-2014
wow that seat did an awesome job... the 220 not so much! That is scary though! Wonder what collision actually occurred for that to happen!

Butter my ar5e!
Their injuries, sound pretty nasty but they're bloody lucky.
RE: Shit the bed! - NOSE - 15-09-2014
Bloody'ell, lucky to be alive!! Not that's its funny in the slightest, but it did make me think how pathetic the air bag looks in amongst all that wreckage, its like putting a plaster on the Titanic ! I wonder if it did actually did do anything (or get the chance to do anything)
RE: Shit the bed! - r3k1355 - 16-09-2014
Doubt it, the impact has torn the car in two.
Report seems to indicate the 220 crossed onto the other side of the road and hit the Seat??
RE: Shit the bed! - Piggy - 16-09-2014
It shouts that the 220 didnt brake enough up to that junction....cleared that island and got t boned (cut in half) by the seat?
