    Default Driver Offroads on 14th St to Glenmore W Ramp.

    Single Vehicle accident involving a wesbount vehicle entering Glenmore Trail West from North Bound 14th ST Flyover. Car passed off the road and was retained by the Security barriers preventing the vehicle from falling down the cliff face to the reservoir.

    No major injuries appear to have been suffered.

    The barriers likely saved the occupant(s) from death as they would have tumbled into the reservoir some 120 feet below.

    Looks to have the back end come out on the corner, over compensated, cut accorss the lane, then cut back accross, off the road, overcorrected again but smacked the barrier and continued scraping the barrier untill being stopped by the pillar.

    Great pics, Ben.

    There's some major damage underneath the car. Looks like it caught air after hitting the barrier.

    Thats the third vehicle I've seen twisted around behind that cement wall this week, but that car has made it the farthest yet.
    You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

    Just a observation based on the stupidity that seems to be getting worse in this city.... maybe we should remove the idiot barriers and let the idiots go over the cliff!!! or better yet, make people earn their drivers licence like in Europe?

    Actually, that bridge is icy as hell!!! You could be sliding going just even 50 in this weather! Rule of thumb is to go into it as slow as the guy following you will allow and then accelerate from there! Also stay on the right hand lane since the curve is not as tight there!
