First of all we pray for passengers ( 5 ) who all passed out in this shocking truck vs car road crash


The accident took place this week in Saudi Arabia , the passengers were 3 boys and 2 girls and they are brothers . Their dad is a Dr, in a university .


They were driving on LS460 on a road connecting UAE and KSA


the video might be removed by the user later on but for the moment it is here ( The guy is talking in arabic in video )


The video made me re-think about safety of cars generally and Safety of Luxrey epensive car specifically !!



RIP to all youths


الله يرحمهم God have mercy on them

 

Don't think that would make me rethink anything except driving too fast. That car is ripped in half and folded over itself. Having been to the scene of literally hundreds of crashes, that was speed. Pure and simple. Nothing short of a tank would have saved anyone.

Can't even tell it was a 460 unless someone can identify the wheels.

 

Speed has to have been a huge factor here... that car is mangled

 

460 or Hummer...same result...people need to be slow the f down!!! I have been over in the middle east and see how folks drive on these roads. Entirely wayyyyy too fast!

 

This crash looks like it happen well over 100 plus or close to a 100 mph, the car looks like almost disintegrated! Like the others said you have to be wise, value the other lives you are transporting and other people on the road. Moving at a high rate of speed and one looses control it will be hard to recover unless you are a pro/stunt car driver.

 

Driving like the laws of physics didn't apply to them is the reason... not lack of safety.

 

Hey guys, I have no idea about the speed but his father was following him in another car and they were travelling . I think the damage is mostly caused by the fact that it crashed a truck ( which I believe was crossing the highway !! , yes crossing ! It happens in roads outside cities a lot in Saudi Arabia, such fatal behavior .

 

maybe one of yellow tractor/truck you see on the video crossed the road. they have enough weight to make this car looked like crashing into a wall and got sliced up.

but yea... speed is way too fast.

 

Thats so unfortunate but no car wouldve coped better than that.

 

Well over 100 mph with this tank is a bad combination per the law of physics. Not even a sports car, the LX 570 wouldve been the same.

 

I'm still trying to tie this crash to how safe, or unsafe the LS460 is
