ugly ugly crash
got this from a fellow worker
At first i was like OK OK where are the bodies, the blood, etc. But then saw that the car was cut in half by JOL nd then put back together on display. ALTHOUGH you would think the bikes fairing would be gone........
article says:
The Honda rider was traveling at such a "very high speed", his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place.
All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly. This
graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license.
At 250 KM (155 mph) the operator is traveling at 227 feet per second With normal reaction time to SEE-DECIDE-REACT of 1.6 seconds the above
operator would have traveled over 363 feet while making a decision on what actions to take. In this incident the Swedish police indicate that no actions were taken.

holy shit...they really cleaned the car up.
If the rider crashed at the intersection im sure it wasnt on an highway.
At 155mph thats just plain stupid.
Its sad that the passengers in the vehicle were fatally injured.
