It hit the power pole a couple of metres up!

oh my! thats pretty wasted. no body parts or blood around

Shiiiiiit

Sheesh. That is nasty.

phark!

nG! pretty messy. i am pretty surprised the police commisioner is treating it as 'death in custody' because the cops were chasing... tough call.

bet he was txting.

Champagne journalism from news dot com as always.

Resedents of the house where half the car ended up say they were woken by a loud bang and ran out to an horrific scene in the front yard.

In the article it said one woman climbed out of the sunroof:

Death in custody? Hogwash.

To me custody is under the control of, and quite obviously the police did not have control of that car.

News report said clocked at least 160km/h. Natural selection at its finest.

160 has nothing to do with natural selection, especially in a late model euro luxury car

klump road is just up the road from me:

im trying to work out exactly where hes come off and ended up;

was definately motoring

160km/h on a suburban street with an obviously inexperience/inept driver whom is possible evading arrest?

I'd call that natural selection.

Spook, they were heading from the freeway towards Logan Rd, and it looks like they've come off just around the first LH bend getting towards Hibiscus (ending up on the wrong side of the road).

Fade: Its not natural selection when the person who dies wasn't driving.

they were clocked doing that speed on the M3, not on klumpp rd

they must have been moving on Klumpp Rd as well though Jim because that isn't a big corner by any stretch of the imagination, and they have clearly hit the pole at speed.

it's not natural selection even if the person that was driving dies. natural selection is an evolutionary process that takes generations. this was a road accident fatality :P

ah ok, on the radio this morning they said coming towards the freeway:

its a pretty gentle left hander, but there have been roadworks aroudn there;

he would have had to be super motoring to get into trouble

i can easily take that corner at 60, maybe 70kph in the davwoo

yeh not saying they weren't moving at speed on klumpp rd, I'm just responding to the apparent idea that doing 160kph means you will die

Champagne journalism from news dot com as always.

Champion spelling.

Doing 160kph in a suburban street definitely means you're an idiot however.

You call it idiocy, I call it just deserts. Subjective opinion.


Passanger or driver. You got into that car. Choices, it'd be grand if people took responsibility for them.

He came off the freeway and ended up in a pole. AMIRITE?

that'll buff right out

ka** g**** is f***ing speechless!!!! I was the first person on the scene at the high speed crash on Klumpp Road Mt Gravatt (see headlines on news). I applied first aid to the driver, assisted the female passenger, and the saddest thing was the other girl was badly disfigured and her body mangled. When i got to her she had no pulse... this image will stay with me forever (too graphic to describe) no one helped me....i'm shocked!

someone i know on facebook. they were asian.

Fade: Its not natural selection when the person who dies wasn't driving.

It is when the person could have easily said stop and let me the f*** out. Sorry but obviously the guy that wasn't driving was enjoying himself aswell..

Natural selection.

so did the passenger live?

News report said clocked at least 160km/h. Natural selection at its finest.

The driver was a male, he is still alive.

It is when the person could have easily said stop and let me the f*** out

Perhaps they were, perhaps the driver was pissed off and wasn't letting them out.

One passenger dead, other passenger and driver alive.

Raider, natural selection for the passenger? You're an idiot.

how the f*** do people survive that s***

the g forces alone should be enough to turn your brain into a jelly dipping sauce

mission: it's all about choices. Choice to get into the car. Choice to stay in the car instead of insisting the driver stop. Drivers whom drive like this do so often, so its likely the passengers could foresee the excess speed and/or reckless driving in general, and still chose to get into the vehicle.

So yes, natural selection.

no. it isn't.

fade, youre a nob mate

fade, youre a nob mate

Her funeral will be held next tuesday.

how the f*** do people survive that s***

the g forces alone should be enough to turn your brain into a jelly dipping sauce

Out of interest, did you go to the school for retards? I would have thought this guy was common knowledge.

^Jesus, that guy was insane.^

you survive by being inside a $400,000 European designed rocket ship (in the front seats at least)

How do you know if the other passengers weren't saying slow down and stop and so on..

The acco is down where they've just finished all the road works just after hibiscus.

audi crash on klump rd though?

Because it's cool to call 'Natural Selection'.

Holy f***!

That airforce dude was crazier than a sack full of hammers.

Actually, the house where it landed has just had a s***load of landscaping done to the front yard... If they'd only waited a little while they could have had it done for them by the Audi.

That aside, lucky the trees weren't there I guess or there probably wouldn't have been ANY survivors

I was going to say something about how amazed I was that an Audi tore off into chunks like that.. but yeah - powerpole... 100+km/h into it

Considering where the other half landed, it would of renovated the house instead.

hermi, you should they had landscaping, i thought all that work was for the main road piping..

that test pilot is one bad muthaf***er.

speaking of audi...

current miss universe japan... lol

hermi, you should sure they had landscaping, i thought all that work was for the main road piping..

To be honest, not sure. Either way, all the trees that stood between that house and the road aren't anymore.

hermi, you should they had landscaping, i thought all that work was for the main road piping..

I think they just had half their front yard reclaimed because of road widening. They've made a bus lane along there. It was a new fence etc.

yer, old mate never even made it around the corner;

i know where this happened, coz everytime we drove past the last couple of weeks, we wondered how these guys could get into or out of their houses, due to all the work being done there;

One of them had been in surgery for 7 hours post event.
That's a whole lot of surgery.

I've been a passenger in a car before while the driver was speeding, and I asked repeatedly for them to slow down and they didn't. What more could I have done?

yank on the handbrake?
disembark?
attack the driver?
call the cops?

the 4th option you list is the only safe option Spook...

Billy; you punch them in the head until they stop or rip the car out of gear, yank handbrake and pretty much do whatever it takes

human life > anything you can do to the car with your bare hands imo

lol @ yanking handbrake while travelling > 100km/h

us drifters do it all the time, i can guarantee you, not only is it safe, but you will do a fully hektik drift as well!

I too am lol'ing Billy!

You won't have a life if you punch the driver in the head or yank the hand brake at high speed.

Idiots.

Second line contractdicts your first one teq

no not really, I'd much rather roll the car on the highway than hit a f***ing power pole
its not speed that kills you, its the sudden stop when you hit an inanimate object

if someone isnt listening to me I think a punch in the head is a pretty good way to get their attention, chances are they'd stop pretty quickly
handbrake only locks up rear wheels and in most cases at speed it wont even lock them up, it will just slow you down slightly and the driver would want to stop the car to avoid damage

he asked for ways to stop it, i gave serious answers
heardy, when i say "human life" i mean everyone except the driver if im stuck in a car with an idiot driver

did you try hypnotherapy on him billy?
NO I DIDN'T THINK SO

gathered data, compiled stats & present the driver with a gant chart showing his behaviour was tending towards foolishness.

You drop the nice attitude and tell them firmly that you're not comfortable travelling with them at that speed. You demand that they stop driving the way they are, or let you out immediately.

Dropping the friendly smile usually does it, people get that you're seriously uncomfortable.

The cab drivers in Spain do about 160km everywhere. They don't speak English, you can't tell them to slow down.

When we were dirving to Ibiza airport I think the dude touched 180...

haha demon
what if it was obes driving

Tell the driver you're rooting his women.

Good chance of getting kicked out then.

^^ the goal is to exit the vehicle whilst it is stationary.

what if it was obes driving

i see your point... no point in showing obes the stats as he won't believe them & could start an argument that might distract him from driving. so i'd prolly default back to relax, as the times i've been in a car with obes driving he was pretty sedate. :D

I had this in Seoul, cabby must've been hitting 170km/h in a 100km/h and would slam on the brakes when the speed cameras were coming up, then plant it back up to plaid speed as soon as he went past. At least I made the plane.

Pull their handbrake gently. And steal their stereo.

lol @ yanking handbrake while travelling > 100km/h

If it's a manual, chuck it in 1st.

That or Reverse.

Whichever you're more comfortable with.

pretty sure u would be hard pressed to survive jumping out of a car going 100km on the highway. even though u have seen 007 do it on bond, in real life u cant just "roll" out of it.

i think you'll find your chances of surviving a roll are alot higher than hitting a pole at 160km/h

my dad was in a F100 that rolled back in the very early 90's when i was a young tucker and they got out of it alright, think the other person had a broken collar bone. can't remember if my dad was driving or the other person.

that said, those older F100's are pretty strong compared to todays little s***ters

my mate went into parked cars at 170km, totalled the parked cars but everyone in my mates car survived. 5 ppl in the car, few bruises and one chick broke her back but she is fine now.

he was in a vn.

thats what seatbelts are for. jumping and rolling aint goin to do s***
