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

[Espen]

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.

looks like a hard hit, probably distracted by something or a cell phone...how sad

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

My condolences to her family and friends

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..

HARD hit too, even at 55. 55 to zero in what zero seconds? stopped before an airbag could even deploy. makes me sick.

E39 M5 saved my life.
Driver was drunk (we didn't realize until SHE was on the road and began to speed) went around a right turn rediculously fast, 80mph, the car hugged the road SO amazingly well. Missed a van by 1.5 feet, yes the tire marks were that close. Hit the left side of the road, went through 3 small trees, just bulldozed them, then went across to the toher side, bulldozed 3 more until stopping on the third. Electrical fire, all airbags deployed.

Hurt like a mother, but ALL 4, yes FOUR people in the car survived without major injury at all. By that I mean nothing more than bruises, scrapes and some temporary hearing loss.

Anyways, my point is I will never buy a car that's not BMW or Mercedes. At least she survived for a little bit afterwards :-/ RIP. It's a shame that had to happen, regardless of what caused it.
