Unbelievable M5 Accident!

[shahano]

I believe the kids are 8 and 11 years old. Very famous lebanese DJ actually. Still don't know much about the reasons though.

Its the sand combined with speed, makes the car roll after the tires dig in.
Seems to be a sport to "drift" on roads full of other cars" aswell.

Here is another accident in Saudi where the car rolled badly due to the sand

Caution, graphic content, so only posting a link. Dont look if you dont want to see a bad accident and bodies!!! "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVNkc_uM58Q" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch2o4U9doa8"

I wonder if the CFRP cars are stronger or weaker in collisions?

Why their government doesn't do anything to prevent these morons doing these shits with unsafe cars that are not supposed to be driven and pushed that hard in public ???

How stupidly is it possible to behave on public roads???

Not only do they drive like morons in the videos you linked, but it seems nobody use seat belts...

Seems epidemic there

Hi guys, so got more details on the crash.. Seems the guy was speeding irresponsibly on the right lane and then a truck moved right. The guy in the M5 was going way too fast and went right to miss the truck. Ended up 300meters from the road. ( I have never seen anything like this before).

M6-Coupe, the gov't has definitely done a lot and has greatly reduce the number of accidents. If anyone is caught spinning the wheels, he gets a couple of nights in jail and the car impounded for a whole month.

Finally, the kids are actually much younger than i mentioned previously, between 2 and 5 years old. Seems soo irresponsible to speed that much with your wife when you have kids this young.

I have a video of someone walking around the car after the crash, but i think it would not be correct to put in on here. The front end of the car was found at least 50 yards away from the rest of the car.

Holy crap!
That's a bad M5 wreck, but after seeing these videos it's no wonder why. I can't see how this supposed 75mph speed limit is enforced so heavily especially with an accident that bad.
So sad to hear about those two kids though, cruel reminder about speed.

Makes you think when you see a video like this, what actually happened?

Are these dummies looking to die?

I wonder if the guy with the M5 was doing the same stupid things these dumb asses were doing and ended up died, because the area in this YouTube looks similar to the pictures I posted!

Thanks for the info.


If the video shows the bodies of the driver and his wife, please do not post it here.

If it "just" shows the car and surrounding debris, it probably isn't a problem to post it?

[shahano]

these stupid drifts only happen in the middle of the desert and not in the middle of the city.
The people who do this are such a bunch of idiots

[soooma]

Sad to hear again!!
But seen this yesterday
A guy in Saudi Arabia with his wife and works for a well known Radio Station and my understanding no kids in car from what I heard !

Very sad
That is why I trained myself to respect the beast because you need to drive it and not let it drive you and it can and it will try to so be aware !!

[ozbmwnut]

seems to me, there are lots of already "brain dead" idiots there...

Is the video on YouTube or you have it personally on your computer ?

I told you it was speed.

Agree it is totally irresponsible. My brother has not owned a high performance car since his first child was born, and I suspect he won't buy one ever again, or at least not until they are grown and out of the house.

Even if you are a great driver, these cars offer too much temptation and there is a lot to loose. You need incredible self restraint with an M5.

Wow, Tragic!

I don't know if I could live without having a performance car, but maybe its better to just have a track car to avoid temptations on the street. Or at least speed without the wife in the car. Children come first.

Seats belts are mandatory and very heavily controlled as well. He leaves two young children behind, therefore he probably wont take the risk of not wearing seatbelts.

Not sure he has the option of wearing seats or not anymore...!? Salutary lesson. Be responsible in such a powerful machine. These are not 1.6i toys.
