Your next "WTF" accident thread



Took place in Irvine I believe, this guy was supposedly on his way to a rx7/rotary event of sorts. Looks like the driver wasn't paying attention as the road curved right, he over-corrects and that's the end of it.

it only take ONE SPLIT second. despite all the laws being put out there, people are still being distracted. phones, make up, stereo. etc. i hope the tan car occupants were alright. Just like the merc video posted not too long ago....its always the innocent paying the idiots' price.

DRIVE SAFE!!!

Strangely, I had my work bag with me, which allowed me to pull the footage off of the SD card while still onsite - which amused the fire department and CHP to no end...they watched the footage about 25 times. The emergency services were super-engaged, apparently the first time they were able to review footage of an incident while still onsite, plus it was a fairly spectacular incident, with almost no injuries.
that was AWESOME. Glad no one was hurt. Quote from the description on youtube.
