Yea here we go Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that's a fair old hit hey, glad no one was killed at least

Thats a mega hit.. very lucky everyone was relatively ok..

Will give old people something to sook about.. Seems like this has only been brought up again because of the latest news on the tailem bend track.. Lucky it wasn't a p plater.. Would of been on the news for the next few months.

I'm suprised its taken this long for the story to come out, gotta love how the media hypes the **** out of everything though I also love how they say about the top speed the car can do.... WOW most newer cars can top that i know my vr can probebly get to that (kinda hard to tell with a 220km/h speedo lol)

The 600 horsepower VK Calais that could be super-charged to give it a top speed of about 260km/h had only standard brakes. could be super-charged with nitrous oxide whats that mean lol mite be like mad max's car

fckin boo hoo

the front end looks fine which is good

get over it..if it was 1 of these new cars there would be only bits of plastic everywhere so be thankfull its a soild car gotta hate the media!!!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just read it in paper again.i would almost gaurantee 99% that the vk would have a brake upgrade no one spend tens of thousands and does not do brakes.its just media stiring the pot

"How would he (the driver) like getting a phone call from police saying his mum had been in a crash? My mum's been out there trying to look for work. "She's already got financial stress - and now this." Inspector Philip Newitt, of the Police Traffic Support Branch, said a man had been arrested and charged following the crash. "We will be alleging that as a result of his driving behaviour, a collision occurred where two people were seriously injured," he said. "Major crash investigators attended the accident and he has been charged with serious criminal offences, including causing harm through dangerous driving." Insp Newitt said police were aware the Calais was "known in car enthusiast circles". "We will be alleging that speed was a factor in the collision," he said. Edit: At the end of the day, the driver of the VK was obviously in the wrong. We should be happy his passenger, and more to the point, the lady of the other car wasn't killed.

this is the reason why we need r/w certificates

Does anyone know the road? It seems a wierd crash, the right hand side of one car and the rear of another? Google maps shot anybody?

Yeah, I know the road..only way I can think of is he must have been tail out, side to side, got speed/momentum, tail swung around 180 degrees and went backwards into oncoming traffic...
