So you're telling me if I drive 100mph and hit a guard rail it could puncture thru the car?

Plus he was drunk?

I hope it wasn't a member here but he deserved it. And I'm glad it was a single car accident and that wasn't another vehicle he decided to swap some paint with.

There is a big investigation going on about one companies guardrails being unsafe. When a car hits it, it doesn't crumple, it goes through the car.

Ah, no, he didn't deserve it. But given the condition he was in at the time, it's not surprising he was in a crash. Good thing he's the only one who was injured.

I'd say he deserved to f*ck his car up, but not almost get killed. Either way I doubt he'll be doing anything that stupid ever again.

Should have gotten a sport model.

Amazing that he lived considering where that guardrail is sitting.
