A young lady (19), just learning to drive, drove through Matsue City at breakneck speeds, soon crashing her ride into a streetlight at high speed in truly spectacular fashion, tearing the SUV in half and killing the three back seat passengers who unwisely let her take them for a spin, we hear. She was only lightly injured, as was the fortunate young man sat beside her.
See a video report of the wreckage.
The three passengers killed were acquaintances of the driver, as was the surviving passenger, and the three soon died after being taken to hospital (looking at the state of the rear half it seems they had no chance at all). The car in question was apparently a 2002 Mitsubishi AirTrek, a sturdy enough vehicle, so it is all the more impressive how badly it was totalled by her death defying/inducing driving.
Despite being a learner driver, with only a provisional licence, she was not displaying learner plates, and on top of this driving four other people around at high speed through central Tokyo is also not behaviour generally considered appropriate to learners; police are already looking at charges of involuntary vehicular manslaughter. She will doubtless have many difficult questions to answer when she is released from hospital.
Via Sankei. Let us pray the girl has never so much as laid eyes on a copy of GTA in her life…
Stupid girl, she’s going to have to live with those peoples deaths for the rest of her life.
The punishment of the court, it is almost assured she will be proven guilty anyway, will be as nothing compared to the guilt of killing her acquaintances/friends for the rest of her life.
No extra stage for her.
oh this kind of thing still happening in Japan. hmm so accidents occur everywhere eh. i hate this kind of people who cause the accident. not only cause the crash but also kills people hmmmm..
oh no. and i thought wreaked cars in burnout were insane.
i don’t know whether i should pity or condemn her. but i am leaning towards the latter. there’s a reason why you have to be 18 to drive lady.
How do you crash into a streetlight in such a way as to not damage the front, total the back, and split the vehicle in half horizontally?
For that matter, how did she manage to go speeding through a city’s streets without hitting another car or attracting police attention?
Yep, I still can’t understand how she managed to wreck the car that way.
From the first pic, it just looks like a huge guillotine went down on the car and chopped it in half.
Not to mention the seats are all bent out of shape… as if the car was broken like a stick or something.
Well, anyways, she’ll have lots of explaining to do, that she will.
Learner plates, whatever… but running at a speed so high to cause that kind of accident… definitely stupid.
Maybe she tried to brake and skid a little. You know..brake, skid, turn, and bang. In this case, she probably banged into a lamppost.
Now I have another reason why I shouldn’t drive.
