when I got out of training I was handed an inventory.. one of the claims was a person that crossed the center line causing a fatality to a himself and a minor occupant in the not at fault vehicle.

Scary stuff. Always horrible to read!

The guy came out with no injuries and passed a Breathalyzer test. I don't know whats more scary that he did that while sober...

brad850csi · 12-21-2018, 09:17 PM

You'd imagine he fell asleep?

He is super lucky that the front of the car hit the tunnel instead of the car being just a little bit lower and the A pillar windscreen hitting the tunnel first - if that had happened I'd suspect he would have died.

Now that's an "Oh Shit!" moment.

bmrm396 · 12-21-2018, 11:41 PM

I saw that on Reddit earlier today, laughed because it was just unbelievable and looked like it was out of a movie, now I know it was a BMW and it's sobering how different my reaction is.

Oh your probably spot on! Crazy accidents probably happens very frequently over there.

Thanks for the info, I'm glad he survived that. He had to have fallen asleep and is very lucky to be alive. Had he been even a foot higher I think it would have been a fatality. Did you happen to catch the date it happened?

I actually stumbled across this earlier too, same tunnel.

Yeeeaaaaahhhh! 3D!

That's a full send right there 🤷🏼*♂️

I think that road infrastructure needs a rethink.

Foomanchu · 12-22-2018, 07:19 AM

A little to the left and he coulda spiraled into that tunnel in style! Time for a collapsible guardrail to replace that ramped one!

A foot lower and the tunnel would have taken off the roof of the car and he prob wouldn't have survived.
