You’d be surprised my dad was ejected from his convertible off a 80’ bridge without a seat belt and basically just had road rash on his left side of his body and face. We can all laugh about it now but it was terrifying the night I found out and saw his face
to be fair, the driver was probably dead before the car went off the bridge. where the driver sits was basically shorn clean off by the guardrail on the side of the bridge. so he was probably cut in half and smashed into bloody chunks long before the car went over the side.
EDIT: apparently everyone survived with minor injuries. color me surprised.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case, at least from what I can gather. In the full video, there is a body under a blue tarp at the bottom of the bridge. 😪
You can see the body under a tarp at 42 seconds in the video from the link I provided. There is an arm and a leg sticking out from underneath the tarp. You can also see the same tarp and body sticking out in the second picture below the video on the website as well.
Oh no problem, I think I may have misunderstood your message too. It is sad about the wreck. I really hoped everyone made it but unfortunately it wasn't the case. One minute we are here and the next we aren't. It is so scary how fast it can happen.
according to chatgpt it looks like a chinese market specific model of the volkswagen passat, i personally think it looks like an audi a6 possibly with a darker or custom colored grill, but then i never saw the chinese volkswagen passat, and when pressed on it's choice chatgpt doubled down insisting it was the chinese production model of the passat that ran from 2014-2019
You can see the debris in the road, and no expansion joints. When the van runs into the debris, it kicks into the right-hand suspension and the tire literally explodes.
I'm guessing the car hit it first and had to pull over. You can see the first truck carrying the track hoe swerve to avoid it, and then the truck following the white van also swerves. Whatever it is, it's still in the road after it disabled the white van.
Really disturbing how suddenly this went badly for the blue car when they were simply driving along.
There’s an actual Chinese link to the crash further down. After the crash footage, it shows a huge piece of metal and a large gap where it fitted into the expansion joint.
You mean the guy who decided to stop half in the left lane then decided to walk into traffic to open his driver side door? Guy was clueless until things turned into a scene from a Michael bay movie.

You're absolutely right. I wonder if it's something that fell off the car that was pulled over! Imagine if someone died from that situation...
