When car meets tree

[Slowmo]

chanced upon this when surfing...

 

 

 

 

amazing thing is, the driver managed to survive...

 

 

What you see is what you get, i.e. there was no cutting of the vehicle prior to the pictures being taken.

It is my brother-in-law that you see holding the mobile phone, he honestly doesn't know the speed that he was going at but wasn't near as fast as he has done in the past on that particular part of the road.

 

Although the road was completely dry he said that it felt he was on ice and the car just careened into the tree. He actually called the emergency services and climbed out of the car by himself, he spent only a couple of hours in hospital, apart from a few minor scratches he got a bandage around his little finger, I told him if he's not already religious he should take it up ASAP!

 

The car WAS a pristine RS6 ABT, I was supposed to pick it up that very day to borrow it from him for a week as I've always wanted to try out the ABT version. He really should have simply told me that he didn't want me to drive his car I'm so happy he is alive and all in one piece.

he lucky he survived. my unker drove a merc along PIE long time ago. car literally fly and wrap tree (was last found at least 1m above ground) U shape.

 

to know how bad it is... let's say, his name cards was flung out at least 3m away fr the car. the impact was so loud, i think quite a few pple within the aljunied neighborhood woke up in middle of nite glaring at the wrapped merc.

 

of cos he didn't survive.

tia ka chui chui.

Amazing! But luckily, he had no passengers. The passenger seat and rear of the vehicle is totalled!

 

The moral of the story is : if you wanna get in an Audi, make sure it's the driver's seat!

Bloody amazing. Thank God there was nobody in the passenger seat though!

[Silver_blade]

Audi quality indeed. Amazing to see that the doors are still intact and not deformed.

[Chongster]

hmmmm, why don't we just make cars out of wood instead?

[Biglittlebean]

Fire hazard.

[Togas]

One thing for sure.. not 60kmh..

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot did he decided to write off his RS6.

Don't want to discuss whether he is lucky or stupid enough to have an accident like that in the first place? We'll probably never know, but it seems that the driver must have been going at a fair old speed to say the least for that much damage to occur. Not a very wide road so I wonder what the speed limit was?

[Chisiang]

Is this the old RS6 Avant? The front disc rotors seem a little too small for RS I've seen RS4 front disc rotors and they are massive man! It almost filled up the entire gab of the 17" rim.

teh driver is lucky to be alive.

but i don't think he can lead a normal life anymore.
