Jeezus. I can't even wrap my head around this. If a C7 was ever tossed into a blender, this is the result. I'm guessing it was spinning violently after first impact to create shredded field like that.

I've had people come up on me, wanting to "hit it". I never have. I know what my car can and can't do...AND what I MYSELF can and can't do. I drive sporty?...yes. But I save the REAL **** for track days.

I'm certain he's not serious my friend. More like a subtle "monty python" style humorous comment. That's how I took it anyway.

It only takes hitting a dime in the road to bend or crack one of our wheels, never mind a horrendous impact like this !!

I don't go searching the net for crash photos, but I have never seen a car torn apart like that. Luckily there was no passenger as I could care less about an idiot that made this car into confetti..154 feet, Did anyone report a flying man in the area.?

Street racing should carry a mandatory loss of license for life and or serious jail time. Seeing entirely too much of it lately and way too many close calls of innocents.

I AGREE and another thing CHASES BY COPS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. Nobody can out run a radio. Cops are not pro drivers but they think they are almost every chase ends up on a wreck with injuries or death

As long as it’s the death of the perp being chased, I’m 100% fine with it. Less garbage on the streets. But when it’s an innocent bystander, that really hurts to see. I can’t imagine what those innocent families go through to cope.

I was driving a few weeks ago. Middle of the day on my lunch break. Some dude in a Audi, had pipes, was loud, had the A pillar gauges. Passed me in the left lane, slowed down to my speedlimit, honked, revved his engine, took off, slowed back down & did it all over. I was like really? Have fun man.....

I'm surprised anyone could initially survive a crash that extensive.
