shockingly bad lorry crash

[nicole_]

crash repair place across the road from bens work, had this bought in yesterday ( i dont think theyre actually gunna repair it though?!)
so scray seeing it, like something like this can just happen so easily :sad:
honestly shocking crash,
im not sure if you can really see in these pictures, but the cabs completely been flattened back, the steering wheels even been flattened. drivers seats been shoved so far back and the head rests right in the roof if you can see?
the engines also underneath the trailer part at the back as opposed to the front of the cab

been tryna work out how someone can possibly do that much damage?!
we reckon hes fallen asleep, accelerated by accident and gone straight into a building or something solid
gunna find out monday,
any ideas what happened?

[daz_zz_er]

god i always thought lorrys were pretty hardy. And looks like hes gone straight into something flat and solid.

[Mochachino]

That the one with the spare persons foot?

[Mr_P]

Lack of concentration/fallen asleep. And gone straight into the back of another lorry....?

[VTomR]

Game over for the driver! Surley he/she didnt walk out of that, would have it would have been in a police compound?

[Odsy]

rather them than me, not seen anything like that before, not with a lorry.

[Pixie]

Thats the worst lorry crash i've seen :O

[Pieface]

Must have kept a foot in it to crash that bad.

[adamm]

tbh that might have been loacalish to me i think there was a bad crash involving 2 lorrys and a tractor. road was closed so was probably quite bad.
that is wreked though let us know when you find out if it was from that crash

[Josh-VTR]

Geez did they survive?

[KrisJ]

Christ, can't see how anyone could survive that:wacko:

[adamm]

question is was there blood all over the seat nicole?
that could be survived tbh 2 broken legs and alot of cuts and bruises...

[Gary-VTR]

Could have been on the phone or something?

Saw something similar on Traffic Cops once.
On a motorway, a lorry driver got distracted by his phone, plowed into the back of a stationary 206, stopped behind another lorry. Didn't even break at all.
Ended up with 1 very squashed 206 + a fatality.

[frankie]

Chassis looks alrite though...

[Sparky26]

looks really bad looks like he has hit a low lowder or somethin to push the cab back that far. the engine is already half way down the cab anyway but to move it further took some doin i fix lorries and the engine mounts and brackets are stupidly tough!!

saw that it was bad the 206 was crumpled to fuck they had tofind her arm in the wreckage to check pulse. so crushed they couldnt see her properly. lorry drive was a fat prick and triel lying about using that phone

[Kev_Vtec]

imo anyone in the lorry would be dead. if the crash didnt do it the shock would have.
not seem a lorry with that kind of dammage on before.
is it the daf lf or cf? my dad has the cf hmmm

think its a cf looks to big to be a lf think they only do the lf in a 7.5 tonne

[nicole_]

yeh is shocking to look at,
no blood at all, not even a single drop!
ben looked over and saw a foot in the bottom, i wasnt brave enough to look, pretty damn grim
will find out monday what happened probs

[adamm]

lmao a foot!! thought they would take that out tbh

[Jay_]

we are all assuming this lorry was being driven......this could have parked somewhere and something ploughed in it.....looks pretty horrific though....

[Mr_P]

There was a foot in it.

[Jay_]

really....seriously doubt there was a foot in it tbh....maybe wrong but very careless of whoever delt with it if there was.....

[tom130691]

maybe it was a crash test lorry?

i have seen this, was horrible, the 206 was about a metre long, killed the driver instantly, she was stuck in the car, and then they thought a baby was in the back, luckily not. there was no damage to the lorry after crashing into the stationary 206 at 70mph.

[Kev_Vtec]

would of taken the foot out before it went there, if they was a foot init. or someone left it

[nicole_]

found out what happened,
the driver fell asleep and the lorry in front was braking and just went straight into the back of him
it cut the driver in half :|

[Manu]

Typical of lorry driver working overtime :/

[Proffitt]

Thats bad :(

Lorries are meant to be strong, just imgine if it was a saxo :n:

[Pixie]

He shud be buried with his foot though :(

[adamm]

He shud be buried with his foot though :(

lmao he should
thats nasty though would have been instant anyway

[Gordi]

looks pretty clean! :geek: if he was cut in half thought there might be abit of blood n stuff!!

[nicole_]

thats what i said gordi lol,
but thats what the place who have it in were told!

[djmartin]

thats defo gone into the bck of another lorry. the lower section would have also been squashed and its still there hence the lower carridge of another lorry.

plus o blood? no paint transfer from say a wall!

you found a foot and never took a piccy. dam you be a crap CSI lmao!

[KamRacing]

you sure someone died? I thought all vehicles with fatalities are crushed...

[djmartin]

you sure someone died? I thought all vehicles with fatalities are crushed...

good point!!!!!!!

[nicole_]

i dunno, its been sat outside for about a week now. i reckon they might strip it down and then scrap it, no way its salvagable!

[djmartin]

its been sat outside for a week with a foot in it? and there is no horrid smell coming from the cabin? no rats or fox or whatever trying to get the meat?

come on nicole lmao!

[dougieph2]

thats a lot of damage for crashing at 56mph at the most..

[auds]

That's bad :( weird how the foot hadn't been removed like....really shouldn't drive so many hours like they do, idiots tbh :(

[Sparky26]

thats a lot of damage for crashing at 56mph at the most..

56 mph with possibly a full trailer of goods into somethin thats going to weigh about the same and is hardly going to move??? not really to much damage to be fair...

[nicole_]

not too much damage?
really? :S

maybe ben lied about the foot to scare me lol, i wasnt brave enough to check :D

[Sparky26]

not too much damage?
really? :S

maybe ben lied about the foot to scare me lol, i wasnt brave enough to check :D

i was bein sarcastic :P

[dougieph2]

hmm.. duno, they lorrys can take some impacts..

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

they will probs fit a new cab if its a new lorry. looks like it stuffed into back of a parked lorry and gone under it. surely the driver died?!

[sexy_gt]

looks like the culprit

The OP said the lorry was brought into the yard a few days ago. That story is from 2004.

[sexy_gt]

the front of the lorry is very rusty though for just a few day old crash?

[sparky771]

FOOOK ME!! I doubt they are gonna try and repair that...... Because we have a truck in our yard which was involved in an accident, where the driver had put a load on wrong resulting in it being 21meters tall (16.3m is the maximum your allowed) and he collided with a bridge, well the load did causing the truck to 'wheelying' under the bridge which bent the rear axle fucked all the rear rims and tyres, anyway we were quoted £37,856 iirc for just the parts :P the truck only cost £25.000 a year ago :P

So i reckon a whole new cab, interior any chassis damage etc etc gonna be expensive truck is probably waiting for the insurance accessesor (sp?) to come and see it to write it off or say fix it.

[VTomR]

lol at the foot, i doubt it. probably just a shoe.
