Range Rover Evoque Driver Fly Off Overpass

mark0006 · Apr 8, 2015

Make sure to watch the video, can't believe they walked away from this.

From the article:
A horrific accident with a miracle outcome was captured on camera when a Range Rover Evoque slid on an icy road at speed and went flying off an overpass crash-landing a couple dozen feet below.

The accident occurred in Sochi, Russia, this past Sunday.

9 pictures and video in the gallery

Please note the mandatory wheel rolling away out of the smoke.

I am *amazed* at these people walking away. What a superb ad for modern safety systems...

Russian. This is why we must never try and have a war with them. They are nuts.

The car that comes by before and nearly hits the wall looks like a P38.

There was three R/R's racing, the 38 that hit the wall, the Ejoke that went airborne and a 322 that is broken down just out of camera shot.

Look more closely. There is no wheel involved it's just a tyre.

Could be, but he probably got further than Eddie the Eagle.

You could well be right about the Ejoke chasing the P38 - which nearly went the same way itself.

A magnificent piece of civil design though, that ski jump.

Maybe the design concept did not take into consideration some brainless prick driving like a total idiot on an icy road.

The one that hit the wall first was a lada there built like battleships.

It's Russia. There is nothing more certain than a brainless prick driving like an idiot on an icy road. It's what they do.

Somewhere there's a Russian with a bumper sticker saying "Civil Engineers for Darwin".....
