A mate of mine who lives in Sydney seems to think it could be New South Head Road in Vaucluse?

Ya I was looking at that. Looks like the driver may have come in a bit too hot on a turn, hit the sand and lost control, T-boning the other car.

Shame to see one beat up so soon

First responders usually sand the area in case there has been an oil leak, which often happens with accidents like this one. So it couldn't have been the cause UNLESS driver managed to drive over the site of another recent accident where they had to sprinkle sand.

Ah that makes sense, it's a great way to absorb car fluids without much going to the environment.

Well, let us all hold a minute of silence for our fallen comrade...

Holy shit... that was very bad luck.

caminator · 04-28-2016, 12:00 PM

I thought i was going to be first a few days ago when a truck that I thought was indicating to let me pass turned out to be turning into a junction I hadn't seen.

Steering wheel on the proper side might have avoided this...
It's a joke, to lighten up, you know?

windmagnet · 04-28-2016, 05:41 PM

Would like to hear the story behind this prang. Pretty hard to speculate from the position of the cars. Quite possible that some moron just pulled in front of the M2 without looking

I must admit when test driving on windy roads after watching all the drift videos, I was a bit nervous about losing the back end and collecting a gum tree.

There is a video out there somewhere of a guy in the UK collecting his black M2 where he nearly loses it several times on a wet road including a nasty twitch when overtaking another car.

Be careful out there!

That was what sprung to my mind...

Giuseppe002 · 04-29-2016, 02:11 AM

Yes I'm thinking that's new south head road, well done Australia famous for beer consumption and crashing M2s ��

They must have tried launch control...
