    Default OT: A E30 hits a tree in high speed (pic)

    This happened today very close to where I live, on the same road i use to work every day. I had just passed that tree 5 minutes before it happened.





    The driver, a 18 year old girl, died on the way to the hospital.

    Dont know why she hit that tree, its a tiny left turn, on a hill top, I can do it in 150-160kmh with the e34.. So she must have gone really fast, or maybe she tried to avoid a animal or something..

    So drive carefull folks!

    I would have expected the tree to "cut in" to the car more than it did.

    The road looks damp. It must've slipped at high speed. Tragic.

    Awful, but it looks survivable. Seatbelt? Is it a convertible? Must've been a serious driver error.

    We can't be sure what caused this accident, but one thing's for sure: good tires are worth every penny. I bet hers were crappy.

    Looks like photographer took some time and effort on the first picture. Really wanted the right angle...

    I feel bad for her

    Tires are pointed straight - and it was a square front hit. Almost looks like she just ran straight on into tree. Sad story..
