Watching the video….He’s so lucky to be alive. Hope everyone slows down on the roads.
Now that had to hurt a bit
What IS IT with people here running their cars into trees along Lone Tree Way and Hillcrest and getting smashed to smitherines? Maybe we need better-made cars with some STEEL in them. My uncle’s ’77 Mercury Cougar, when hit by some tin-can import, did not sustain one scratch while the other car was totaled! We need some MUSCLE cars back!
How about slowing down the speed on some of these major streets? You’re not driving on a freeway! Some people simply should not be licensed to drive at all.
Maybe we need better drivers!
Lots of luck with that! Maybe drivers should be at least 21 years old before they can get a license and the driving test should be made much tougher to pass.
Or maybe less trees lol
There is hardly any traffic on Hillcrest at $:30 am. What was this guy trying to do? See how fast he could go? So, what happened to the leg he couldn’t get out? Was it cut off?
No, it took then 45 to completely free him. He’s intact at the end of the video you can see him getting on the stracher
I wonder if this guy was texting while speeding?
From the extensive damage to that vehicle, he must have been going at top speed! Is the tree OK?
The tree only suffered a broken arm
