Bad BMW crash............Brand new 745iL.......
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8383/pic00006.jpg"></center><p>the road leading to where the car crashed is a long straight valley about 500 yards long. you can see through to the end from the entrance, so its notorious for speeding but @ the end of the valley after it comes back up & levels off there is a long sweeping turn. the turn combined with the road leveling off causes you to lose grip as you car continues upward, causing you to lose control & crash.....
anyone that has driven on a track with elevation changes will understand exactly im talking about
from what i could tell he was going @ least 80-100
when he went off the road, its hard to see in the pics, but he literally flew 6-7 feet after he clipped the curb, clearing the sidewalk & some bushes then taking out the wall & coming to rest in some bushes on a hill.
after talking to the owner of the house, (who was very calm & friendly despite having a car plow through his fromt yard) i found out the driver was about 55-65 & the car only had 6000mi on it...ouch!
he also said that this same type of accident has happened 4 times before
one more note, the house that got crashed into had just finished a huge remodel on the whole front yard no more than a month ago....
