Another young adult dead. He ran from the trooper over an expired inspection sticker. I’ll never understand why people do this and risk their lives over something that minor.
This happened the other morning on Rte 209 in Wawarsing (outside of Kingston).
On another note…I don’t think I’ll ever own a VW. While I realize the driver was doing 100mph when he hit the truck head-on, the cabin crush zone doesn’t look that dependable. This poor kid’s head was severed and was lying in the road.
:idiots so sad. But you’re right, that car looks really really compacted and crushed in the front maybe more than should be expected, but 100mph is ridiculously fast in a head on.
yeah it looks bad, but think about what the vw hit, and how fast it was going. look at the truck, the front end of it is mangled, and its way higher than the car.
at least theres still some nice smoked tails left on that ginster. :lol
darwinism prevails yet again…looks like he wont have any dumbass kids to follow his legacy (i know, im an asshole, but if that was you and not an oil truck and you were either in the hospital or dead, you’d call the kid a fucking dumbass too)
I feel like you’re being unfair to the VW. I will be the first one to state I hate VWs, but I think it held up pretty well. Look at the Oil truck… that is larger than a one-ton pickup and much heavier duty and there is no front suspension/frame in sight!!! I think any car in this situation was going to end up this way if not worse. I feel like even my 3/4ton wouldn’t have faired very well against taht oil truck in this situation… OH well, one less idiot we have to worry about.
dude its clear stupidity… i am from that area and graduated high school down there. you dont drive that fast on that rd, let alone pass a car with a truck traveling the opposite direction! i was told from multiple ppl on the rescue squad (one of them being my grandmother) that his body was in 3 pieces. its sad when stuff like this happens and its even worse when it over something so stupid…
its very easy actually… like they are fun as hell to drive… but when i have to work on a vw more than i work on my hopper there is something far inferior about its build quality.
