*I have it on good authority he was upset because of a domestic fight/bustup & was using the car to vent..A young family left to pick up the pieces..

Another topic for another thread i guess..So back on the topic of this thread now please.

cheers, Maka
Very sad. Thing is it was not the hooning, but a person who was of unsound mind due to the domestic/bustup and used the car as a self harming weapon, either intentionally, unintended or recklessly.

Many years ago I was a student in Tasmania, and there was a horrendous accident involving a commodore or Falcon v8, again a young man who had a domestic dispute/bustup- left his wife and 2 young kids and ended up wiping out at very high speed- T boning the car on a pole in a built up area at 1.30 am- sliced the car in 2, he was in the front half still in his seat- but dead-massive speed involved.

The wreckage looked like something involving an F1 crash.

Just wish that all people who have such emotional turmoil just do not get in the car at that time but just go for a long walk instead....
