Default Holy shiznit! I saw BA XR8 that got totalled in action!

Happened yesterday afternoon around 5:30pm.
You could say that I was basically the chase cam for a brand new XR8 falcon that got totalled!

I was following behind this guy in a citric xr8 on the highway we were doing around 80km/h and up ahead theres cars stopped at the set of lights, i start slowing down but this xr8 was still doing 80 im like holy shit this guy is nuts but then i realised he must've not been watching the road cause about 10m before the car infront he slammed on the brakes but too late his car piled into this stationary landcruiser.

Man the xr8 actually went airbourne!! I'm talking **** end up in the air!
I merged into the other lane and pulled over and all these people got out of their cars to help.

Im impressed with the design of the new falcons, the front was crumpled to nothing but inside was still alright, I mean the dashboard had been pushed back a bit but everything else seemed ok and the driver only sustained whiplash and a broken arm.

That was some crazy shit never seen a car crash before in action and it was my luck i was right behind front row seats when it did happen.

It was scary at first I thought the driver of the xr8 was dead cause the car was just compacted and went flying i slammed on my brakes pulled over and got out and ran to the crash scene.
All these people starting calling the police and ambulance and fire trucks.

Took them awhile to get to the scene too.
But I helped assist a passing ambo with this casualty by fitting him with a C spine collar, sling, etc.
The victim of the xr8 was in his 30's. He was still shook up but alright, he kept apologising to the guy in the who was in the landcruiser but it was ok.
It had a big dent in the back but seemed to be not very damaged.

Well thats my highlight for the week!
Who else has seen high speed car crashes in action?? :
