The car definitely has independant suspension---or, better put--- the front suspension is independant of the rear suspension....

We can fix that. Looks like the speedo is stopped right around 90.

spedo is stuck at 90 but it is not a head-on collision. We need to know the lateral imact speed.

I don’t know weather it’s worse that this is another sign of Darwin’s theory in action or that the idiot driver killed a tree in the process.

The impact was so strong that the engine flew out of the car, my god, I had no idea that was even possible.

Somethings are not right with this series of photos., it looks as if the parts were placed in the positions for the photos. For example: why are there no tracks in the dirt? No blood in the car? Any ideas?

The dirt is not disturbed because the car was probably air borne when it hit the tree.

Certainly could have been in the air when hitting the tree, but there would have to be some disturbed soil as the pieces landed and skidded to a stop. Looks like they are put in place as a reconstruction, but still a terrible accident.

Hi all.

I'm not sure if this is real or not but if
you look at the first picture you'll see
what looks like white plastic covers or
bags,it wouldn't surpise me that they
are covering two bodies.

One thing I do know is that it is hard
to wrap a door around a tree like that.

Louis.
