Default They say God protects children and fools...

"This takes some time to study, to realize what it is you are actually looking at. The telephone pole helps as a reference point... Sometimes what you see as you first arrive on the scene may not be exactly what you have after further [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Although these pictures are of a vehicle accident they exemplify how things in other situations can be deceiving. If you approached this scene from the driver's side, the damage doesn't looks so devastating.. However, if you approached from the front or the passenger side your would have a totally different impression of the scene. Fortunately there was no passenger in the vehicle at the time of the accident. This same scenario can and does exist when approaching any emergency scene or fireground. Do not necessarily take the word of others or even necessarily rely on your first Impressions. Sometimes additional investigation can lead to an entirely different conclusion While covering for a few hours on E24, we responded on this wreck.. The driver swerved to avoid a car turning left and spun out on an icy intersection. I ordered the crew to stretch a line and was literally transmitting a request for the Entrapment Compliment when the police Sergeant on the scene pointed at a guy standing on the sidewalk saying, "Here's the driver!" Except for a scratch on his hand he was totally unharmed."

I think 35 is the speed limit on Glennway where this happend.There is a 20mph school zone ahead,but that cruve should be 20 becouse 35 is to fast for what can be seen.People drive 45 on this road all the time.

so much for MORE plastic in automobiles.

my wife rear ended a new caddy the other day.

i think the impact speed was around 8 mph.

the caddy was totaled.

the 1992 GMC safari van she was driving which is considered a beer-can quality, the impact only busted the plastic grill and bent the front bumper slightly.

after the nice officer gave her a ticket she drove the beer can thick sheet metal van home.

the caddy was scoped up in pieces and its remains were winched up on the wrecker.

had that been a 1974 caddy all it would have got would be a busted tail light lens!

Somebody needs to Photoshop out the telephone pole and add in a chihuahua in its place.
