    100Kmh, judging by the 2 white sheets I'll hazard a guess at them being dead, note the steering wheel , that;ll be where his arm locked up then..

    Thats gotta hurt. No way was that impact only 60mph. I've seen a mini-metro T-boned at that speed and it came off a hell of a lot better.

    I suspect airborne, sideways, hitting the tree and wrapping around it - 60 mph was probably the indicated speed at impact (after Skidding from something stupid).

    Very much doubt anyone survived that.

    i think you could weld that back together and a bit of panel beating it would be right.
    seriously he was probably allready going side ways witch would have given a false reading on the speedo

    My logic says the parts of the driver's bodies were removed from the area before the photographs were taken There's no way anyone can come out of that alive. It's not possible. It hardly even looks like a car anymore!!!
