Another rallying imitatorÂ
Show-off teen flipped car at 110mph on A53 leaving passenger seriously injured
James Crockford's driving was described 'like a rally driver without the experience'
The defendant - who had no licence and the car was insured, untaxed with no MOT - admitted driving at 100mph and believes he hit a verge.Â

well,
"I just want to spread awareness about driving on that road in the ice."
Speed has nothing to do with it.

Speed has nothing to do with it
And it's purely coincidental that a fellow awareness raiser was instrumental in another vehicle write-off shortly before. It's all mysterious, just like Harry Potter
surprised they didnt blame the council for not gritting the road
Of course the headlines are all "a car crashed" barely mentions the driver at all even though they've been arrested on suspicion of drink driving.
There was a thing I thought came in after the Selby crash where train Co's or Network rail could sue the driver of the car for damages and costs due to delays on the rail network from their actions, which will almost certainly be in the millions of pounds range
The biggest every car insurance claim. Took over 20 years to finalise, and was worth somethign like 50 million
Car flips onto its roof in dramatic crash off busy Nottingham roundabout
I make it three points (photo of car on roof, residential road and no mention of a driver).
https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/car-flips-onto-roof-...
A four pointer I'd argue. 30 zone, plenty of pictures, no driver (yet paradoxically a 'professional' driver), not a supercar but supersized, and how about half a point for both lanes blocked ' beyond rush hour!'.

All the more remarkable because it looks like a pick-up actually being used to carry heavy/bulky stuff. I like how the Mini behind is almost saying "FFS, HOW?"Â
Emergency services called to River Medway near Strood Retail Park and Morrisons after car gets stuck in mud
A spokeswoman for the ambulance service said it was called to reports a vehicle had left the road when it became stuck in the mud.

if you change "when" to "then", you're closer to what happened here.Â
Followed by being submerged when the tide came in !
I can't find a news story, but this is just across the river from me. It's done quite a number on that telephone pole. I've biked on this stretch of road about a half dozen times.

Somewhere around here. It's a shitty 45 MPH road with no shoulder. I have a better route now.
Just spotted this comment:
If you haven't seen it, Peoria Area Scanner & Dashcam has a video of it from a dashcam posted on Facebook.
I came up on the accident while they were loading the victim onto the stretcher. It was a 19 year old girl, she actually responded to the dashcam footage on FB and said that she broke her back in two places. Â
My husband broke his back this summer so I now know more about spinal fractures than I ever thought I'd need to know. I reckon she'll have an easier recovery at 19 than my husband's had at 44. A lot of people were praying for her today, I'm so glad that she's (relatively) ok. There was a fatal accident practically spitting distance from there in July, in that case it was a drunk 16 year old who killed her friend
Here's the video, if you have Facebook.
Plus points for being a driverless car, in a 30mph area. Double bonus points for flipping over a wall and into a cemetery.Â
Minus points for only being on its side, not on the roof
Â
https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24774117.scholemoor-cemetery...
Â
EDIT: -The newspaper is now reporting that two people have died in this incident. It appears from the news report that they were driving INSIDE the cemetery - using the roads inside the cemetery as a race track - when they flipped the car.
What an idiotic waste.
