Hospital. car crash, a truck and MANY MANY PICTURES

[99 rs]

Today was an absolutely horrible day. Nothing is worse then hearing that one of your family members went to the hospital. I got off work at 4 and immediately got a text message from my brother saying our mom is in the hospital. She collapsed at work over lunch and had to get ambulanced to the Misracordia Hospital. I drove straight there to meet my brother and girlfriend (she’s a nurse-in-training). Talked to my mom for a while and found out that she was going to be in the hospital overnight. So the three of us left the hospital and we picked up my mom’s car and dropped it off at home. I then drove my brother back to his car (95 Twin Turbo Supra, 46000km) which he left at my mom’s work. Not even 10 minutes later I get a phone call. A truck driver ran a stop sign and my brother straight KO’d him. My brother was wearing his seat belt but still slid far enough forward to hit is knee on the panel, blow both arms out sideways from the force of the airbags and threw the blinding dust of the airbags exploding still managed to turn off the car. He stepped out of the car only to hear burning/smoldering. The car wasn’t on fire but the battery exploded and started to burn through anything that it was touching. The two people in the company work truck ran over to my brother and the first thing out of the driver’s mouth was “why couldn’t this have been a beater car”. I arrived about 5 minutes after and proceeded to take all of the following pictures.

The truck driver was heading East on 131 street and my brother was driving North on 149 street. The truck driver straight blew through the stop sign. My brother said he even saw him slowing down. He probably slowed to 30 and then somehow didn’t see my brother and floored it across the intersection. My brother had no where to go. The tires on my brother’s car were 6 days old. Even with all the traction controls and ABS and the works nothing helped. The truck driver and his passenger were truly stand-up-gentleman about the whole situation. You can tell on their faces they genuinely felt terrible that this happened. The company owner came down about 10 minutes after I did and he to was very good about the whole situation. He wasn’t angry at all at his driver. The driver didn’t try to hide anything either. He outright said to my girlfriend and me that it was his fault. He didn’t argue at all; even in the police report. Not only that they grabbed their stuff out of their truck and even swept up all the debris in the intersection after the Supra was towed away and police report was done. My brother had just registered and insured (supreme full coverage) his Supra last Thursday. He drove this thin for only six days. The truck had full coverage through the company.

Long stories short, what a way to spend an evening and find out your family member’s are in the hospital overnight. My mom and brother are both “expected to make a full recovery”.

The truck driver ran this stop sign. My brother was going from the right to the left of the screen. The force it took for the Supra to spin like that must have been huge. Not too many people know but the Supra is a very heavy heavy car.

To gauge how far the actual front end got pushed in and over you can see it very well in this picture. The radiator hose is supposed to be absolutely straight with only one 90° bend in it. This thing got squished good.

The battery acid already started corroding and melting stuff around it. All the white stuff you see is the acid residue/burnage. This car was absolutely mint in the engine bay.

The frame actually cracked

The following picture is kind of hard to take in. The lower left hand is the driver side fender, the upper left hand is the windshield cowling, the upper right hand is the windshield, the lower right hand is the driver side door. The metal tore itself clean off from the impact. This WAS NOT a previously written off car.

Mods, if this in the wrong section please feel free to move it. The reason there are so many pictures is we want something we can access from anywhere to show the insurance company’s. For useless knowledge my brother also got hit on New Year’s Eve by a drunk driver (in a truck). He wrote off his Integra and not only that he tried to flee the scene. My brother got his plates. End of story.

Thanks for reading it all or just for looking at the pictures.




The Impreza in the background is the same one as this:

i didnt see all the pics before i said that
they werent all loaded on

[HiSpec]

I am happy to hear your family is okay, nothing else is as important...

but on the other hand, I sure hope the insurance company will be able to cover all the expense to bring the Supra back to its original shape...

Everyone has a bad day...but this is just horrible...

If this happened to me, my mom will probably tell me the car is bad luck (chinese supersitious)

[Canmorite]

Sorry to hear what happened. Hope everyone has a speedy recovery.

I've seen that Supra around a few times, and its gorgeous...

[Idratherbsidewayz]

Hope everyone gets better soon.

It seems these things always happen all at once...

[euro_racer]

is it just me of is that supra full of bondo underneath the paint? :dunno:


that is shitty to hear man, lets hope your family will get better

[v2kai]

damn. best wishes for the future, family and cars the like

[99 rs]

^^Primer. It got painted over the winter........to be ready for spring :(

I forgot to add these pictures (more of the same)


The Supra hit the truck going the opposite way in which it is positioned now. The front end hit first, then it got pushed sideways and the rear end of the car hit the box of the truck.

The work truck. Notice the window popped out and the marks along the bed and the absent mudflap.

good to hear that everyone is ok... thats more important than any car.

RIP to the car though... another swap thread soon?

[ricescream]

...
RIP to that supra, so gorgeous.

hope everyone makes a full recovery man.

[a social dsease]

poor Supra :( How is the engine? Maybe you could throw that in another subaru :D

[crazyrx7]

I saw your bro's supra that same day. He was going through the drive threw at Arby's just off of yellow head. I'm assuming its the same car.

R.K.

[C4S]

Well .. hope everyone is ok ..

It is a nice car .. ( at least, in Edmonton )

How come it towed to your garage ??? not to body shop etc??

Well .. it will be total lost anyway .. seems like a nice stock one .. sigh .. :(

[calgarys_finest]

sorry to hear that man. i hope you family is ok. can you keep anything in that car??

[rc2002]

That's probably one of the last remaining examples of a truly mint Supra. Those things would be worth a small fortune still in that kind of condition.

Hope the insurance company coughs up enough, and hope everyone has a speedy recovery.

[1-Bar]

sorry to hear, glad everyone is okay :thumbsup: I wonder what you guys will do with that powerplant :eek:

[99 rs]

Everyone is doing just fine and all recoveries have been made. So everything is fine people wise.

As for the car, we're going to try to buy it back. The engine/tranny/diff are all still okay. The rest of the car is definitely not. None of the doors close properly and the hatch doesn't close at all. That thing is twisted and squished good. We didn't quite decide on what to do with it yet as we're still waiting on insurance. I'm planning to thieve the projectors though and put them in my Impreza :D

crazyrx7: that was him in the drive-through. That damn chicken bacon swiss burger is delicious.

C4S: this car isn't going to get fixed. It would just sit at the body shop and get parts robbed off of it. This way we can be the ones robbing the parts.

[Supa Dexta]

I seen that car over in that area the other day...Just off st albert trail/ yellow head.

Sorry to see it now...

In all seriousness, it's great that no one got hugely hurt or anything.

[cam_wmh]

glad to hear everyone's going to be ok.
as far as the Supra...





that'll buff right out







(couldn't resist sorry lol)

[BB6SE]

sorry to hear about this.
Is this the same owner that got it painted and put everything back together in his dads shop?

[b_t]

At least your brother is okay. Its only a Supra.

[weeznah]

that sucks.
glad your brothers ok.
i would care less about the car.
