WARNING: Content might be a bit graphic for some.


The same S63 driver in 2016. You can see what a reckless driver he was.


I don't think Distronic and all the Mercedes safety devices would be a match for his irresponsibility.

Wow! That is horrible. Guy looked like a reckless driver though. These cars are very powerful machines and things can get very nasty quick if you don't respect all that power.

Would have probably survived if the truck complied with US bumper regulations (between 16 and 18 inches from the ground) but with no bumper the entire force of the collision was transferred to the A pillar!

At least it was quick.

Anyway, those trucks are deadly - I lost a friend like that.

Glad no one else was hurt. Feel bad for the passenger though. Having money doesn't mean you're a good driver or know how to drive. The dude paid with his life for his reckless driving.
