"Ouch"... would be the under statement of the year in this case..... Perhaps it hit a Harley while running a red???

I have to agree that "Ouch" is an understatement!! More like OH MY F^CKING G@D!!! That car must have ran up under a freight train or something had some serious weight to it. Not many things that could have caused that kind of carnage to a Benz!!

I don't think Steve could install a Euro COMAND in that could he?!

All joking aside, the driver died instantly in that crash. What I was told besides the commentary on the website was that this car was on Autobahn cruising at about 140 mph swerving thru lanes when he/she lost control and flipped multiple multiple times. The carnage is worse because of the amount of electrical equipment ER workers had to use to get the driver out of the wreckage...

I have a German Driver's License. I have sadly come upon one very high speed accident. I am a carnut. I could not tell what kind of car it was, as I passed. Sadly, this is what they generally look like. They actually (back in the 80s) had trucks with a flat bed to drag up the remains, with a backhoe like bucket to pick up the pieces. Ugliness at it's core.

i hope no one was in that car when it happened, hopefully it was just parked and a tank came along and drove back and forth all over it.... that or it was a minor wreck, and while sitting at the wrecking yard, some guy thought it'd be a great idea to drive his tractor over it.

Imagine if that car was a Hyundai (could it going that fast) it would have dissapeared. Poor guy..

On the weekend I went out for something to eat around 2 am (drive through) and I looked down on the highway, there was 2 cars that had plowed into each other and in front of that about 300 feet ahead was the wreakage of a motocycle they hit as well.. It looked so sad..

I gotta' say, motorcycles are insane..

Yeah, I'm from India and they, meaning motorcycles, are abundant as hell. As a result of that are the abundances of accidents. And 75% of the victims die and I've seen a many dead on the roadside..
