This guy really should count his blessings.  Had he been a foot or 2 to the left or right, he might not have survived with just a broken leg.

Yes, both pieces are from his one car in the pic.  :o

1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Regardless of whatever the law does to him, I've got to think that this guy got the message when the pole divided his car. Thankfully, no bystanders were hurt.  :screwy:

 Must have been a high speed impact, I'm thinking 60mph plus.

I came across an accident when I lived down in Houston in the 80s. It was a t-top camaro/firebird thing. T-Boned and split in half just about like that. Unfortunatley, the bodies were scattered across the road.
