 Incredible Crashes

 Some of the most incredible crashes you may ever see


 

Disappearing Motorcycle

 

The Honda rider was traveling at such a 'very high speed', his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155 mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.

All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.

At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second. With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.

 

Little is known about this accident except that one car is now two. The contributor did not include a narrative

Photos Submitted By James A. Bonner

Two Bensalem High School seniors were killed and a third was critically injured early yesterday in a one-car accident along the 1400 block of Gibson Road in Bensalem.

Driver Ryan Stout, 17, and rear-seat passenger Andrew Weiss, also 17, died on impact, township police said.

Front-seat passenger Michael Misenko, 17, was taken by ambulance to Frankford Hospital-Torresdale Campus, where he was being treated last night for serious injuries, police said.

The car, a 2003 Mercury Sable, hit a tree while headed east at high speed about 5 a.m., police said. The collision split the vehicle in two, throwing Stout and Weiss from the car. Misenko, wearing a seat belt, remained in the front half of the car, which then hit a second tree. He was freed from the car by volunteers from three fire and ambulance companies that responded to the accident.
