Unfortunate crash Of a beemer..

CaliforniaKnight · 22nd April 2005, 17:28

Guyz, saw this while travelling from B'lore to Kerala..It was around 8 am, beemer rumoured doing around 170 head on to a little 800 doing 110. Occupants in the beemer were safe not so for the latter 3 down 1 in serious state of coma.

This is very unfortunate
People with faster and safer cars should care for other road users too.

how can u say just by looking at the pic that its the bigger car's fault.

whichever car was on the wrong side of the road will also have its rear door dented as it will have been trying to cut across to its lane while overtaking.
so while doing so the other car will also hit the rear part of the overtaking car.

here,when u look at the 2 pics,its the M800 that has the dent on rear door,while the bmw has only the front RHS dented.
which tells that probably the M800 was at fault.

What you say makes sense. Provided the BMW driver did not lose control while overtaking himself. He could have easily skidded into the M800. But all the same *** was the 800 driver doing 110 kmph for???? No way that an 800 is built for such speed.

If it is a total wreck, how can it be repaired ?

Maverick5490 · 22nd April 2005, 20:13

well the workk has already started.. it was written off as a total loss.. but the car has come for repair anyways..

Gordon · 22nd April 2005, 20:17

Any casualties??! Was anybody killed in the event?? I hope not, although the driver seems to be confirmed dead.

Very bad state. I can hardly imagine the trauma these guys will be going through. And if you're injured the shock you can go through if you are unable to move/walk/etc. It can be really frustrating. I mean inside a second, your whole life can change. It can be a complete mess, be it your fault or the other persons. I wouldn't want anyone to be in such a state, its just too much for someone to handle. The pain and emotions just hit the ceiling. I pray to God all of us learn from this and drive a little more carefully and be aware that you can put yours and the lives of others on the line for a minute of excitement and pleasure.

Drive Safe.

I really don't think that I would like to go near that car, inner structure has been bent.

Maverick5490 · 22nd April 2005, 20:42

ya.. there is damage to the car all the way to the rear door.. including the floor.. right now the car is strippped down to its monocoque.. a car of this size and magnitude was damaged to this extent.. thn the 800 stands no chance.. i am not able to see the pics.. something wrong with the links?? saw the pic of the 800 though.. chills u to the spine..

damn thats gotta be one of the worst i have seen. the bmw is the bangled one eh i guess the first one to be trashed like this. pretty sad. shocked 800 was going 110 and BMW 170 wht the hell was the beemer fellow thinking

Mpower · 22nd April 2005, 22:42

I feel sad for the people in the 800. Its not worth taking it on the highway. It should be for city only.

The beemer can be repaired though. Lot of the newer German cars come with a bolted front end that can be fully replaced in case of a crash. In this case you need the whole front right suspension, rails, fender etc. Engine looks like it can be saved.
