Its no "accident" that he was driving at very high speed.
Stupidity YES; accident NO.
Makes one wonder if it was illegal.
We shouldn't make harsh judgments. Could've got a message that someone special was not going to make it. Who knows why things happen to people. Maybe the good lord knows best.
@@jaitoonrasheed1722 you are correct at least 2/3 of all crashes, lack any alcohol relationship whatsoever, which means that perfectly sober people are responsible for maiming, killing and needless property damage in most crashes and absolutely have no reason whatsoever for doing so. Speaking of messages, two more ninja bikers, plus this guy. And I get a message for a free pizza.
@@jaitoonrasheed1722 regardless, if someone was driving fast enough to cause THAT much damage, then they made the decision to be dangerously irresponsible. It's sad the driver died, but it's pure luck that no one else was killed or injured.
He crashed into a building with a sign that says "COLLISION CENTER!?" 😮
And he did not even hit the center of the collision center.
that's what i call a real freak coincidence!
@@SethiozProject
Ironic.
😂😂😂😂
Jajajjajaja
Not happy with only hitting 2 cars like a normal reckless driver, this dude hits 2 car dealerships.
😂
And you can safely bet his insurance co. is dropping him instantly!
He died, don't think he has to worry about insurance anymore. @@autobug2
@@autobug2 Do you think he really cares now seeing he killed himself?
records are meant to be broken
Wow the force to break a disc brake rotor unimaginable
200+ miles an hour?
that's some serious Daytona 500 sh!t right there...
That kind of damage happens at speeds over 100 mph. The driver was an idiot who was weaving and cutting people off
They are Made from cheap cast now
We can’t have anything nice
Driving that fast is not an accident, it's either stupidity or self delete.
Stuck gas pedal?
100% stupidity, because if it was self delete, then he didn't think it thru. i've been dealing with severe depression for over 10 years, yet i'd never try to end it by crashing a car ... cuz i know there's a high chance of surviving with severe injuries, anyone who thinks crashing a car is easy way out ... think again. you might end up paralized in hospital bed .. being tube-fed for rest of your life. no thanks!
it was either stupidity or dumbidity
@@michaelgranberg3468 switch the ignition off? Activate brakes.
DUI obviously.
Breaks are made to overcome the engine power for safety even if you have them both floored breaks are designed to overcome the engine and if you shut the car down your also lose power steering. And other safety equipment like the SRS system. Hope he had his seatbelt on
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
FAFO
Darwin Award application entered.
He F'd Around...
And he Found Out...
How can the dude find out if bro is dead
@@Narnia1086 When the car was flying through the air at 100mph I'm sure he was regretting it right before it made contact
He wasn’t speeding he was flying.
ah ah this reminds me of a comment that one cop made. think it was in UK? or maybe it was in new zealand or something, somewhere where cops are usually cool.
anyway some guy was doing like 280km/h and got pulled over, he's quite shocked and asks "officer, was i REALLY driving THAT fast oOO?" and cop was like "no, you wasn't driving fast, you was just flying too low"
@@SethiozProject
🤣love it 👍
@@SethiozProjectI used to have a bumper sticker that said "I don’t drive too fast, I fly too low!"
NOT an accident
He will never drive fast and furious again
Raise your hand if you have been driving long enough to know the difference. 🤚🏽
know the difference between what?
I don't know how to drive which really sucks. No licence no nothing
@@SethiozProjectprobably wreckless driving or accident. This was no accident though, it was wreckless
I know the difference between a comment that makes sense and one that doesn't.
I can’t, I’m texting you while driving.
dude must have been seriously out of control for his brake rotors to break in half and end up in another vehicle...
I appreciate your proper usage of brake vs break in this sentence. I'm so used to people getting the two backwards that I gave up hope of ever seeing anyone say it right.
@@FurryWrecker911 yea, I double checked that one before submitting. I knew someone out there was just aching to correct me, lol…
Wanna get hi ?🤷🏿♂️😩🙈
I'm glad you typed “must have been” instead of “must of been” like some people.
How does nobody have footage of this? No street cameras, no security cameras on any buildings?
It would be a blur and a shower of sparks and steam
Disappointing
They do have footage but it hasn't been released to the public.
The last thing that went thru his mind his ass
😂
Just like any bug hitting your windshield
He read the words “Collision Center” on the building and completely misunderstood what they were advertising
🤣🤣🤣
thankfully no one innocent was hurt, hope the grass etc makes a full recovery
That car must’ve been flying to go that far once it crashed🤨
Warp factor 5.
90 mph or more in this crash. Judging from the damage. Maybe 100.
150 was the official speed by the reconstruction team
@@fredcsensits4476 I wonder what his dead body looked like.
@@larsonmarkov1699 why do you need to see his dead body???
Wouldve never believed that a solid steel brake rotor could be snapped in half in a car accident.
Cast iron is "brittle" and it most likely shattered at the first curb along with the rim.
It's possible, but to do it, you have to be going over 100 mph
Where’s the dealership security videos???!!!
They have the footage,, probably didn't release it because the drivers body was smashed and dismembered.
Some drivers forget that older adults and new drivers are using the roads. I am so afraid driving to work in the morning. They come out from behind you and then squeeze in front of you. 😢
The me first syndrome.
older adults and new drivers... I doubt grandma is driving like that "going to work".
@edwardmmanns7454 shame on you. I should sit at home and wait for government hand out.
@@jaitoonrasheed1722It seems as if he misinterpreted your initial comment, as his does not make sense. Well stated, on your initial comment.
@@jaitoonrasheed1722 What are you talking about?
I thought it was a fish in the windscreen
Same 😂
Worst driver ever!
Comic book guy from The Simpsons.
@@michaelgranberg3468 wrong
@@michaelgranberg3468 I don't think he was making a reference, this guy was just a really bad driver.
It's a real shame that respect, responsibility, and accountability isn't passed down anymore from one generation to the next like it was when I grew up in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, thanks to careless individuals & incidents like this either the driver's or the dealership's insurance will payout and everyone's premiums will probably be increased. 😮
it isn't passed down because it wasn't there to be passed down. The is a cultural factor in a partucular culture.
speeding is nothing new. people have been driving reckless since cars were first made. i forgot in which state it was, but it was very long ago when cars were very rare, mostly it was horses and chariots. in one town there were only 2 cars total and they managed to crash into eachother on intersection ... now that takes some special talent.
crashing a car into another car in a city full of cars .. thats' easy, but crashing a car into another car when there's only 2 cars total in the town/city .. that's another level of reckless and dumb.
however i think people used to drive better back in the days when there was more freedom and higher speed limits, honestly i don't think number of accidents would increase if there were no speed limits at all. they might actually decrease, cuz people would feel more relaxed and wouldn't have to constantly look at their speed and look out for cameras or hidden cops.
Get off my lawn.
It'd be nice to know what kind of car and how fast
This guy was driving so fast he separated his rotor from the axle and split it in half , probably 120-130 mph
You can make all kinds of recommendations , but people have free will to disobey everything
People probably wouldn’t buy a car that is governed at 70mph, but most seem to lose control and crash at higher speeds except for the few that are very skilled drivers
Them new cellphone vapes got people losing their minds 😮
Yes. They come with a vape called euphoria.
can't lose something you never had
He was late for his appointment at the collision center lol.
Bet his insurance is no good ether had to be impaired some way or just being stupid!
I seriously doubt his insurance will payout for his criminal act. They typically wont.
These dealerships likely have business insurance, so the damage will probably get covered under that.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was sober and was just driving stupid. I see people flying down roads all the time here in the twin cities and they probably fancy themselves good drivers because they can push the pedal to the floor.....And then realize they aren't as good as they thought once they lose traction. Anyone can drive fast, but not everyone knows how to truly be in control of their car while going fast.
When Carvana let’s you down
He was huffing paint when he realised, he fuk'd up.
Dealership manager is smiling and I'm a bit scared. I'm staying away.😮
Operate your vehicle within the manufacturer's' limits. 1:24 Most vehicle's can do 100 MPH or more, He was well within the manufacturer's limet's. Good advice sir.
The last thing that went through his mind was likely the steering wheel.
Check the black box.
Are the light poles ok?! 😢
Poor grass and curb.
Those lightpoles were brighter than that driver!!!
The sign says "Collision Center". He understood the assignment
I want to see the security cam footage of this accident lol
Let me guess, a Charger or Challenger
2 light poles mowed down; broken rotor found in the back of a car, 20 cars damaged. WTF????? How fast was he going? RIP.
Congratulations on winning today's Darwin Award. 20 cars...wow, just wow.
Pictures or it didn't happen!
I'll bet it was that pesky angel dust.
Sad story. Now ya know he was speeding and, lost control of his car . Come to New Jersey it’s truly like a race track . Peeps speed without a care , drive high and, careless driving .
Funny, I just read a report that claimed New Jersey is the safest state in the country. Of course I didn't believe it myself
@@TheNoticer83 yes that’s funny . Hmm very interesting . I heard that too , but unfortunately it’s very dangerous . I live in central New Jersey believe it is like a race track on the roads nowadays. Where I live it’s also getting built up like crazy, no room and, bumper to bumper traffic . Sad but true facts .
Actually….some public roads are racetracks. Cities will shut down streets for Formula 1 style races.
He must have been travelling at 3x the speed limit.
Thank GOD he didn't hurt anybody else. He was speeding and acting careless. And it cost him his life😢. Speed gets you nowhere fast. I feel so bad for the car dealership. Please drive safe on the roads.
People are unbelievably dumb.
Yep
Never seen these kind of crashes 25 years ago, people have changed.
Scary how a metal brake rotor can split in half like that.
Chinese part.
@@bobbylee2853 Yep, metal should not split in 2 like a cracker!
to break a brake rotor like that he must have been frekin flying fast
Ruling it and accident?! More like suicide.
Oh my goodness this is horrible that poor man could have been paralyzed from the accident.
WoW!
Agreed with prior comments: This is NO Accident
Anyone driving over 20mph on roads or over 30mph on expressways should be arrested for reckless endangerment.
Suicide by ignorance.
My big question is:
How did he live to be 27 ?
What car was he driving? Did I miss it being mentioned?
People driving stupidly kept me in a paycheck for 20 yrs……I was a state trooper in a northern state….and many drivers never seemed to get any smarter.
Ironic that this took place literally right across the street from the beginning of LVI Airport's Runway 25...maybe Abiel thought his car could actually fly like the jets next door.
My theory is he simply forgot to refuel the flux capacitor and didn't realize it until he was past 100
I wanna know what car he was driving, it could have been a medical emergency.
That Laurel and Hardy skit at the end
I wonder if it was a “teen” 🤔
That Red Hellcat at the beginning!!
glad this did not happen during peak hours, could have been so much worse.
Like the way you think 100% agreed with you @elevenAD
This is the “find out” part.
Best publicity Infiniti has received in decades.
The news lady said he had blue eyes! 1 blew over here & 1 blew over there!!!😂😂
Thanks for the advice dealership sales boy
Was he an illegal ?🤷🏿♂️🤔
More like operate within the driver's limits of controlling the vehicle.
Allentown express, departing from Kensington Ave.
1:25 "I would encourage everyone to operate their vehicle within the limits the manufacturer sets for it." What??? How about just obeying traffic laws.
What's the hurry?
$1 million????? Really????
No seatbelt ?
He was just trying to get his 🚗 up to 88 mph to go back in time to knock out Biff. 😅
Damn. You break a disc break rotor ,,,you definitely hit something
Stupid tax always gets ya
Those dealerships look pretty empty…
drive within the limits of the limits the manufacturer sets for it? Umm, its called the SPEED LIMIT... the manufacturer doesn't have anything to do with it..
Well I guess he will not try that anymore
"It was exploding along the way"
he was protesting high car prices
That brake rotor was ground flat
No, it was the inside of the brake rotor, it was broken.
an accident, LOL NO. family should be sued for millions for the damages
So are those damages going to be brought up at the point of sale, probably not
So many poorly designed roads in the USA.
And they keep blaming the individual instead of improving the system.
So things keep happening again and again and again and again and again.
Calling it an accident is ridiculous, people that drive that fast have a death wish!!!
Car type?
Who has to pay for the damages???
We the people
"accident" is not correct.
Insurance companies won’t pay the public price for the cars at the dealership. To Dand Expensive.
Another Hellcat or Another DodgeCharger?
Tesla, maybe
Or a Nissan Altima... 😂
Couldn't tell because the car looked like a crushed soda can. My guess is it was a Challenger because it looked like 2 door and the huge air intake and supercharger housing.
Dodge Demon
Doge? Like the coin?
1:22 Holy smokes, how fast do you need to be going that you splinter off a chunk of your brake rotor?? Those suckers are tough.
"accident" .... in a Stolen Car
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Another Darwin Award winner.
How come when we read it, it says dies? But when people say it they say died? How come on video or TV they don't SAY dies?
If he was 7 and someone "double-dog dared" him; I could see some possible logic behind this guy's bad decision.
The salesman said the car would do 180, and there you go !
The fairy sounded concerned.. he's never seen that before.
