So I cross the intersection of Hertle and Delaware and up in the distance I see something come shooting out of Tim Hortens followed by two cars colliding head on, and shit flying every which way. So I pull over to find a shopping cart caused all this… ![http://images20.fotki.com/v366/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00080-vi.jpg](http://images20.fotki.com/v366/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00080-vi.jpg) ![http://images20.fotki.com/v367/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00079-vi.jpg](http://images20.fotki.com/v367/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00079-vi.jpg) ![http://images18.fotki.com/v375/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00077-vi.jpg](http://images18.fotki.com/v375/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00077-vi.jpg) ![http://images18.fotki.com/v375/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00076-vi.jpg](http://images18.fotki.com/v375/photos/2/213039/2650895/IMG00076-vi.jpg) They had to use the JAWS of life to get the guy out of the Jetta. And his left leg got pretty mangled… Good news is he was talking and alert. Sorry about the crappie pics. All I had was my cell phone. ---

i’d take a head on crash over hitting a shopping cart anyday. the guy probably didn’t want to use his collision, so he rammed an oncoming car so their liability would pay. good man, :tup: to him. too bad about his leg though, but he can hopefully sue the other driver and get insurance money and be set for life. I guess that gets 2 X :tup: ---

Pretty soon they’ll ban shopping carts for being a risk to the public, and everyone will have to carry their groceries to the car. That Jetta looks a lot more fucked up than the one in the tv commercial. How fast was he going?? ---

> [@Coldaccord](#): > > was the other car a silver mazda 05 or so, with a girl driving? if so its a friend of a friend, Chantelle. broke her leg and something else, arm maybe? Then I would have to say it was your friend of a friend… I really did not see what was going on with her because her car was in the middle of the road. All the action was really at the Jetta… I hope she is going to be alright. The other guy broke his leg pretty bad also. ---

> [@BikerFry](#): > > Which car’s driver is the complete fucking retard that caused this by avoiding a shopping cart? Yeah I have to say its good that neither of them are dead. But…obviously I’m not following the logic that proceeded when the shopping cart went out into the middle of the road. Who swerves into on-coming traffic…I mean at least if you slamed on the brakes for the shopping cart theres a chance you won’t get rear ended not to say thats the best decision either. ---

True… If you Slam on the brakes and get rear ended. your still going to be better off than swerving into oncoming traffic. If some one hits you for Slamming on the brakes… Its not your fault. The person behind you was following too close and not paying enough attention. It looks like they were just shooting another one of those “Shit happens” VDub commercials. I think they should Ban shopping carts from leaving the stores… Maby then people would actually get some exersize carrying it. and not have hundreds of dollars worth of food to haul out to their cars. And the less you have to carry the less food you have to EAT. there is a few places ive been where the Cart has an electronic Security device to keep it from getting out of the store. or away from the front of the store. but that goes back to the Movie theatre brawl clientle. parts of the country. ---

Why make it so complicated? You never see loose shopping carts at Aldi’s. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shopping-cart-vw-and-mazda/22055.md?page=2)
