LSA powered VK, where the driver doing something he shouldnt resulted in him killing himself and his young son.
Car lost control and slid into oncoming traffic. http://www.news.com.au/technology/mo...99dd0dcc%3famp

I wondered how the fatalities had actually come about - makes sense per your description. Terrible for the other driver to experience, too.

Any news articles I can find arent saying anything about the circumstances leading up to the collision, but if indeed the commodore driver was doing something I shouldnt, I only have sympathy for the son & remaining family.
Stupidity like that is a huge part of the reason car enthusiasts & the modified car scene are persecuted by the authorities, vilified in the media and despised by the hand wringing maude flanders types.

To crumple that badly would suggest he wasn't crawling
That has folded. It's terrible for everybody, and a stark reminder that you're never invincible behind the wheel.

Interesting, plenty were quick to have a go at the person that T boned them.
Just tragic, and bloody hell it didnt take it well, seems like suburbia so still unsure how that much damage happens...perhaps an 80 zone?

Yes, I understand an 80km/h zone each way - closing speed of 160km/h…
