The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIV

Leingod · 08-04-2016, 06:31 AM

Got a txt over night from my cousin. My uncle was in a head on collision with an old lady doing 85 on the highway. She had dementia and was driving down the wrong side of the highway. She died during the crash. My uncle has a single cut on his arm and is just sore thank god. Massive F-350 since he works in construction. The poor truck looks basically disentrigrated from the front bumper to windshield. The ladies little sedan had parts flown over half a mile outwards.

Wow, so glad to hear your uncle is fine. I cant imagine seeing headlights coming right at me while doing 80 on the expressway!

Yea. I'm thinking what i could try with the Z and most things are turning out pretty bad so far.

Nope. And I am no professional driver either. My best idea so far would be to jerk the wheel and aim for the side of the front bumper or use the passenger side of my bumper. Either a good ricochet or pit maneuver that I could try to handle afterwards.

Anyway you look at it, at those speeds in the Z, you'd be pretty ****** if any contact.

Yea. Head-ons scare me with that car. i know I could navigate or at least minimize someone from the sides, rear, etc. The car can handle itself and get out of the way. But a head-on is just asking for death.

Woah that sounds like a nasty one. Glad he made it through relatively unscathed. I wouldn't want to tangle with an F350 either
