Jeeeeze! That's a nasty one! At least I presume deaths must have been instant - I haven't read the link yet. Literally wrapped around that tree.

There was one guy who survived but was critically ill. No idea if he died later.

In the pic with the med equipment you can see another part of the Golf in the background.

They should show pics like that to everyone taking a driving test. Make them aware that they are not Lewis Hamilton and perceived skill is a world away from actual skill.

Yup. Shows the speed they must have been travelling.

I suppose it would be a bit sick to suggest that the Mk6's new design of doors clearly aren't up to the job.

I just read that one of the guys didn't die until later in hospital. That accident looks like a real horror story.

18-20yr olds shouldnt be in a car like that! My insurance wouldnt insure me for a hybrid turbo on my derv as i hadnt been driving long enough in a more powerful car, sensible idea to be honest!!

I'm almost certain that's a few years old, like as soon as the MK6 was launched.

Absolutely horrendous!!   :sick:
It's not a GTi though is it?
I can't believe that the tree didn't snap in half from the impact??

Depends what job they were asked to do - i think judging from the wreckage they were being asked to do a task clearly outside of their job spec. I wonder what the car looked like after impact - what we see here could be the result of cutting equipment used by the fire brigade but seeing as though a door is embedded in the tree in a mangled mess, plus 3 dead at the scene, even if this is the result after cutting equipment the original state would not have been pretty  :sad1:
