Completely demolished the other car too! To the point where I couldn't tell what it was.

I still feel safer in my kombi, than I do in the wife's plastic mazooda.

yeah saw it last night...poor kombi... I think the driver was in hospital (leg injuries) but passenger died... police said it was one of the worst collisions they have seen... 馃檨

so are we saying the people in the Kombi died
or the people in the other car?
not good either way, just wondering.

This happened about 5 minutes from where I am.
From the reports the P plate driver in the Lancer over corrected after driving on to the soft shoulder and hit the kombi head on coming from the opposite direction.
3 of 4 fatalities in the Lancer, the other critical(both sisters)

The other fatality was the pasenger in the kombi. The driver has severe leg injuries.

To make it all even worse the father of the Lancer went looking for his daughters after they missed their curfew, only to stumble into the crash! Poor man...my condolences and prayers go to all involved.

Having lost many friend in car wrecks I would'nt wish this on my worst enemy-W

it is a tragedy when things like this happen.

its amazing what a lapse in concentration and inexperience can leed too.
(this isn't a stab P platers either)

my condolences to the families of those involved.

We had a Kombi parked on the street outside our house a couple a years ago, and a pizza delivery driver crashed into the back of it at about 60km/h. He was looking for his torch on the floor, when he looked up he crashed into the Kombi, so did not brake at all when he hit......completely wrote off the magna he was driving and did surprisingly little damage to the kombi.

thats some seriously awful news 馃檨 my condolences to all involved

and why would you even think about looking on the floor for your torch at 60km/h? *stupid!*
