I Just Saw a Man Die...........

[juicy fruit]

Was driving home on my teams bus from a game, 1:00am in the morning, nobody on the roads, and we see cop lights and shit.........turns out guy is on the other side of the median as were driving by slowly laying there dead.......went straight through his windshield, about 20 feet away from the car itself.......not sure exactly what caused his car to go out of control or how exactly it happened, or what he hit, but very sad nonetheless, just shows that we are not invincible and could have been any one of us or relatives.......everyone be safe out there on the roads and tell a close one you love them.

windshields aren't usually what kill you- it the tree you hit after you go through it

Go through windshield + Hit ground going about 70+ mph = Death.

If not just one of those........I'm pretty sure the initial impact from hitting the windshield was enough to kill him. If not, the impact to the ground ended any doubts.

One time on the way home from class on Hwy 59 in Houston, all the traffic slowed down and i drove by a leg laying in the road with the foot still in the shoe. Apparently some guy ran out of gas and parked on the center shoulder. He was running back across the freeway with a gas can when a guy on a sport bike caught him unexpectedly and tore his leg off. The guy on the bike was laying on the ground but i think he was ok. Anyway, that freaked me out for about a month.

Same shit happened in front of my neighborhood. Guy hit another guy on a motorcycle going in opposite directions. I saw the cop go an picks his boot with half of his leg still in it. They got a cross in front of the apt. where it happened.

What an Idiot you dont fuck around on Hwy 59....I've seen too many burned out Vehicles from 18 wheelers crushing families and trapping them into their burning vehicles

59 is probably the worst hgwy around houston. Hell Even the Pierce Elevated is safer and thats not saying much

I remember that one specifically. A guy i worked out with new the family that got trapped in that burning suv - the wreck where the drunk mexican overturned the 18wheeler and crushed their car. The whole family went up in gasoline flames while the mother watched in the car behind. I wonder how she ever made it having her whole life and family taken away by some drunk ass and had to watch it. I would have killed the guy.
