That was shocking to watch and i felt nervous whilst watching it on the build up to the crash.
RIP to them all, Especially to the Truck driver who couldnt have avoided the crash.

it's the impact that would have killed them. in all likelihood, the trucker could have been pulled out in time.

Not sure, some people say in comments that he's alive, others seem to think he's dead.

That is awful. In a way, the driver of the car should have survived, so that he can spend the rest of his miserable existance knowing that his sheer stupidity caused the death of his friends and maybe the truck driver too.
RIP the friends, and if he didn't survive, the truck driver too.
The car driver deserves all that Hell has to throw at him

the driver is the twat. the passengers are innocents in the wrong place at the wrong time.theres a time and a place for nonsense but a busy road isnt it. some people find things like this disturbing but i think its the best thing to show to educate. things like this stick in your mind much like that thread about the 18 year old girl hitting the tollbooth in her dads porsche.

Just do a google search for "porsche tollbooth" - you'll find it easily enough. I do warn you to think twice before going to search for it though - I know that I'm a bit squeamish, but it's one of those images that you won't forget in a hurry, even if you want to.

"She didn't feel any pain" doesn't quite say it.

Assemble this into a URL and you're there. Properly grim so you don't really want to (will stick in your mind for ever), but I've seen much, much worse...

Worst traffic RIP photos I've seen were a guy on a bike who used his momentum and a truck to seperate himself into: one arm+shoulder+head lump, both legs seperate from memory, torso, and contents of torso.

I will not be buying a bike. 8O

Thats the sort of video you see so very often on sites like youtube, the difference here is this one ended up in terrible tragedy. At one stage or another most of us have been there and been lucky not to have ended up in the way they did. It is very sad and I don't condone what they did. I wonder if the guys in the Merc were prosecuted? I am sure they are finding it difficult to live with.

Bit random, but this is used as a police safety exhibit, (MODS - there's no bodies etc) - in fact you can see it's at a show from the people in the background.

Proves that bikers can wipe out people in cars if they really try (and themselves in the process of course). Puts a different spin on the "look out for the (poor little) bikers" type adverts on TV a while back!
