i do have the pictures of the driver, but is not pretty and will not publish them on a public forum.

No, thats what happens when 1 tonne, hits 40...! 40tonnes wins...every time

And, I would suggest, that he is flat, and very dead...

The truck could have been doing around 30mph at time of impact & still done that much damage in a head on. If he got out of that he's a lot better than Houdini.

bugger me..
They are towing the car on a transporter so he dead i think.

spare wheel looks ok !

you can see driver in the bottom picture

I work as a crash engineer, and one day i'll find a solution to this.

it just cheers me on that we make a differance for some people

that recovery company dont mess about! its half on the truck and the firemen havent got the guy out yet.

not that it would have made a huge difference but the guys doesn't weat his safety belt...

what about that one ehhh??!?

Tks

I would think that is not the driver! driver would not be in that good a state! Also I suspect they used the winch on the tow truck to pull the car out from under the truck.

All I can see inside the car appears to be a crash test dummy.

Obviously if there are pics of driver then I'm wrong, and no, I don't want to see them.

if any one wants to see them u2u me your email address, but they are not pretty at all.

That's one hell of a crumple zone!
Is that fact that the driver appears to be naked a contributary factor in him not seeing a bloody great truck in front of him?

As flak monkey said, 40 tonnes against 1 tonne is always going to be very unpleasant for the 1 tonne participants. All the same, while I find the whole "Speed kills" thing very annoying, there is no doubt that speed makes an accident a whole lot worse when it happens. Its just physics ... momentum = mass x velocity.

And given the quality of driving I see day after day on our roads, there are a lot of people out there who are accidents waiting to happen, and most of them are driving way too fast for the situation

Cheers
