Does make me think more. They reakon he had a pulse when it first happened then when they got him out of the car he was dead.. Must have been doing well over 30, probably twice over by the damage to the motor.

Good think I went out last night because I'm usually in the same place when I come back from the bridgewater on a sat night at around 12am..

What do you mean by that, chip??

Oh the guy was 21, died from head injuries. Cant understand how you could hit that tree, straight road & clear, hmm. I fly down that road and Ive never swerved into that tree, you'd have to turn the wheel a good bit left to do that. Obviously only good drivers like me can handle fast cars

Designed a lamp post and if i remember one of the BS requirments is to give way to a car crass. (not move out the way)

My last car was a turbo Supra that I sold onto a guy in South Wales about 4 weeks ago. The car wasn't standard, 298bhp at hubs with bigger tyres on the back. He spun off a road at 65-70mph 3 nights back, knocked 3 trees over before finding a bigger one to stop him...car badly damaged although not as bad as you might expect...he got out with bruises only....just goes to show how well built some cars are and just how careful you need to be with a car that isn't standard when you have very little experience of what its capable of doing.

No the lamp post was directly in front of the tree so he's totalled the lamp post and the trees finished him off.
The car was unrecognisable by the way It was crushed it looked like a hatchback not a saloon car!!

Worse car crash Ive seen nyway.

Oh and it says it was worsley road, it was actually walkden road so their facts are well out.
