Staged or real?
The picture didnt say.

If this is a staged scene then it is really well done and the creators need to be commended.
If this scene is real though, then this stall must have been selling some really awesome Tacos.

Or maybe some really terrible ones.

Crashed patrol car

Even the law gets on the wrong side of the road sometimes.
A day in the life of a patrol car is filled with all the challenges experienced by regular drivers and a lot more too.
High speed chases and traffic control are not without their risks.
As can clearly be seen.

Totalled SUV

Talk about an intense crash.
The car looks like it was literally dropped from the top of a building before ending on its roof in this crash.
Its hard to see how anyone could have survived this.
One can always hope for the best though..

Car lies shattered

There was very little information accompanied with this picture.

However the car does tell a rather obvious story. With a dented hood, smashed windscreen and twisted frame work, it appears this car was involved in a high speed accident that sent it tumbling along the highway in a number of dangerous crashes.

Chevy smash

You should never run the lights.
Case in point this scene. Although this Chevy appears to have been a victim, the driver sealed his end when he ran right into the path of upcoming traffic by racing through a red light.
There is no word on the fate of the driver.

Locomotive crash

If you’re thinking that the car appears in relatively good health after a run in with a train then you will be right.
This accident isnt real.
It is a staged scene intended to show the dangers of driving in the path of a train (As if the size of a train was not sufficient enough).

Staged crash

carlang — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:21:57 +0000

This isn’t a real car crash but a staged one.
But the details do look very real and lifelike.
The messages are as familiar as they are important. Speed kills. Don’t drink and drive.

Hopefully some people will have learned this valuable lesson.

Truck avoids drop off

carlang — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:13:54 +0000

It’s hard to make if from the picture but next to the truck is a 30m drop into a river.
If the brakes of the truck had been any less efficient this picture would have one noticeable absentee.
As it is the truck survived its accidental run in with the pictured cruiser.

Through the layer and into the crash

carlang — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:42:14 +0000

Not sure what the driver was thinking.
It’s possible that thanks to the protective layer over the pole he was convinced that his landing would have been a lot softer than it played out.
But as he has come to sadly find out, poles are less forgiving when mistakes like that are made.

North Carolina trooper crash

Never get on the wrong side of the law.
Particularly if you plan on crashing into it. There is no news on if the party responsible for this accident in North Carolina was apprehended, but given the seriousness of the crash, i would be surprised if they weren’t.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
