Terrible GT3 accident

Centurion · 04-29-2007, 05:02 PM

This accident occurred on the high way and the driver was unfortunate to slam right into the back of the tanker at 200km/h. The GT3 caught fire and as you might suspect, the driver died.

I hate it so much when I see pictures like this!

It seems like people push a car to it's limit, when they have no experience of going at these speeds!

My guess is that the driver might have been fiddling with something or was very distracted while this happen. We all get distracted at some point while driving but he was unlucky to be distracted when a tanker in front of him probably slowed down.

It reminds me of the crash with an E 55...it's horrible...

Maybe the tanker switched into the lane where the Porsche was speeding, or maybe the Porsche had to brake for an overtaking vehicle and switched to the right lane where it slammed into the tanker?

Whatever the case, horrible accident(s)
