Repost. Still disgusting to imagine what happened. Can't imagine the driver surviving.

I read about this on ClubSi, and supposedly the driver got away with just a wounded arm. Super lucky.

Guard rails are deadly. Nowadays, most you see have some sort of anchor to keep that from happeneing. How street racing has anything to do with this is beyond me...

I had a 2000 Civic Si and I only once took it to 100mph, it was just so unstable at that speed, no wonder he wrecked...Nothing like the S2K

You'd be amazed what a set of Koni shocks and some Integra Type R springs do to the car.
