Trying is the first step towards failure.

This is probably WTLY material but I couldn't find anything.

Time lapse photos of Subaru accident on 395.

Don't know when it happened but the guy was pretty lucky.

Damn! I was reading that thread when it started, but gave up on it before that got posted. Crazy that someone took all those pictures of it happening.

For some reason, I think that guy looks like one of the Lithia salesmen... but I might just be imagining it 'cause he looks like a douche in a salesman shirt and tie driving an STi.

He would have been able to pass that car on the inside but he did it right at the hump in the median. I can just hear the bumper sound from pinball.

This deserves its own thread, damn thats weird.

What's even crazier is that someone was around to photograph it.

He said in his post the pictures were from a DOT vehicle following him. I never really thought about it but I bet all the highway DOT vehicles would have cameras. Maybe even that road assistance van.

That guy looks familiar to me... But anyway, that's pretty crazy. I wonder what the guy in the white van was thinking in the third picture. haha

Type 1's should all be wearing a Med Bracelet. If he was really so low that he smashed the car and can't remember, he needed something besides adrenaline really fast......

Cory, just put a 4g63 in it.

Yea they should be wearing bracelets but let me tell you from experience not many people actually do. It can make it pretty difficult to figure out whats going on especially if they are unresponsive/confused.

looks like a nasty wreck.

Ugh, and the fact that your accident was 100% unavoidable makes me scared to drive.

It's wrecks like that that make me never want to own a motorcycle. If Phil had been on his bike that night, he'd be dead.

Holy shit that's intense. I like the picture where he is sitting in the passenger seat with blood all over his face like nothing happened. But the same time, it makes my stomach hurt.
