Sorry but you're way off. The old Detroit iron may seem a safer bet but it's not even close. Today's cars are years ahead on safety both inside and out.
 

That was the point I (poorly) was trying to make. The car crumples to make it safer for the people inside the car.

It sure is. That is horrifying. I'm not even sure how that would happen--makes me wonder if there was a mechanical issue with the car.

 

 

"makes me wonder if there was a mechanical issue with the car."

 

 

What i noticed is that the car is a Mitsubishi Evo. Which are turbocharged 300 hp versions of the factory rally race cars, The kind of cars an inexperienced driver can easily get in trouble in, Young drivers shouldn't be turned loose in these. I don't know if this is the case here however i hope the driver survives this.

I wonder if we will ever get an update. It wasn't in the paper this morning. If anyone hears anything, let us know.

What an incredible story about a doctor doing surgery at the scene. My husband tells a story of being at a hockey game where one player's skate sliced some other player's jugular. A doctor in the audience ran out onto the ice and somehow repaired (?) the artery to save the player's life.

yes, we've all seen movies where someone has a crushing or penetrating wound where they can't be moved or removed until something is there immediately to prevent them from bleeding out.  they could have had a steering column in the chest, who knows.  yuck!

So was it an accident or a drag race?

She said he was in a coma...I highly doubt that he is talking about what happened.

 

Prayers for the driver--I hope he recovers!
