This one has been around before. I think it should be removed from the site. The guy is clearly dead...his arm is hanging out of the car. I think there is no point in showing gore.

What am I missing here? Is there a news link or something? PM me if it is a little over-the-top for general forum viewing.

There was a guy that slammed into the *** end of a tractor trailor that was parked on the side of the road; he was killed instantly. Don't have the link, but it was on LS1tech also. No details because no one knows what happend. Someone suspected he fell asleep behind the wheels.

I didn't see the guy's arm until you pointed it out, and I have never seen the pic before.

Somebody emailed it to me last night, and I thought I would ask if anybody knew who it was? Because there are quite a few of us on here.

If it has in fact been around for awhile and nobody knows who it is or was. I will remove it.

One thing I do know is that a few years back, Commercial Vehicles (mainly big rigs) were retrofitted with the extra piece of iron behind the bumper to keep vehicles from going underneath of them. They are supposed to be low enough to hit a vehicles front bumper, which would deploy the SRS.

I guess this could be an example of why not to lower your car too much.

I will remove this picture if nobody knows anything.
