E30 M3 crash

Post by Lars-Nord »

We lost a nice E30 M3 last night.
Driver is alive, but in hospital in coma and a lot of broken bones and have some bleeding in the internal bleeding in the head. We hope he will be back soon. The passenger was lucky and are out of hospital.

A toyota hiace came over on wrong side and hit the E30.

on the photos you can see how soft our old cars are, so drive safe.

Will say a prayer for the driver, hopefully he will make a fully recovery. Cars can be replaced, people cant.

Let's hope he makes a full recovery

thing to note though is as Lars says how soft our old BMWs are in a crash- the Toyota came off much better

so drive safe indeed

(and I thought the biggest danger in Norway was the odd stray moose)!

Brrrrrrrr yup hope the driver survives this. Older cars aren't the strongest but there's only so much any car can have. And then to think of the fact that an E21 is even less rigid.... you need some luck every once in a while and I hope the driver has enough luck to recover from this!

My thoughts are exactly the same as Mobster so nicely put it. Gosh quite depressing to see this on a Monday morning - hope the driver recovers. I love cars, but they pale into insignificance in times like this.
