speedsatya · 24th November 2005, 10:28

the SUV went off this bridge and all this due to stupid drunk driving and overspeeding.

That was a horrible crash man... Was it Endeavour ?

tsk1979 · 24th November 2005, 10:50

Whoa, must have been some impact to do that to an endeavor(Its the Endeaver, right?)
They are lucky to be alive. Very very lucky. The road looks to be either Jaipur highway or GT road

WHOA! Man look at the car! One lucky guy I must say!

Glad they survived - thanks to the amount of steel consumed by the Endeavour.

Drunken driving apart, that stretch of road needs some guard rails badly. Like most highways in the coutry, safety remains a parameter not considered at all.

tsk1979 · 24th November 2005, 11:34

I think that stretch had guard rails till 2 tons of steel ripped them apart

2fast4yaa · 24th November 2005, 11:38

wow he is so lucky with his SUV if it had been another car it would me much worse.....

Nope. There are cement railings, that too the thinnest example of thise. Guard rails are solid steel railings, like the ones on the mumbai-pune expressway. Also, look at the approach to the bridge, a small mistake and you go straight into the drain/culvert.

God! The more I read of there the more convinced I am that a huge majority is not prepared for more bhp yet. Most people have grown up driving pedal-to-metal and seem to do it all the time, without any consideration of traffic (other road users), road conditions, own condition.

Too often at the edge and you're bound to go over a couple of times.

The guy must be very lucky...

v1p3r · 24th November 2005, 16:26

If the driver escaped unhurt, he is lucky.

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no sypmathy for such people. Please ban such people from driving and wasting money on cars. I'm sure the guy will just go buy another expensive piece of machinery that he doesn't deserve.

revtech · 24th November 2005, 16:31

if the driver got of this not seriously injured he really is lucky.and hes lucky it was an endeavour and not a small car.man when will these guys ever learn not to drink and drive.

Sid Schumacher · 24th November 2005, 18:25
