Murder by screw
Discussion
Copied thios from another forum..... I dont care what the drivers were up to, someone taking the law into their own hands is totally unacceptable...
I suspect there may be more to the story than meets the eye, but still very very scary!

If there is anybody here that was at Royal Albert way on saturday night you'll probably know or have an idea what happened.
I got there as the road was closed but a couple of people I know were there as it happened and were putting the fire out and trying to help the injured people.
That was a saph cosworth
This is what happens when you street race, apparently he hit the wall, climbed the wall then slammed back into the road at 80mph
To add to this somebody, obviously somebody who doesn't like street racing, took matters into their own hands when they did this
Yes self tapping screws glued to the roads. This is ultimately what caused this horrific crash, the chap had pulled up at the curb side and one of these lodged in his tire, apparently they are hollow screws to let the tyre down like a stinger.
As he drove off it blew his tire out causing the crash
My mates helped tend to the guys but apparently one guy was DOA, one they helped had a broken pelvis and punctured lung and I've heard one got paralyzed from the neck down.
Take care next time you go to something like this.

Obviously you can't condone someone putting these down in that way. But it could just as easily have been a screw picked up legitamtly or a blow out.
Go tearing around suburban streets an Accident will hurt. Meant with no ill feeling towards the dead and injured, but those are the risks that they took

I don't understand.
He pulled up to the roadside where someone had glued one of these and it got lodged in his tyre, letting it down immediately.
Then he drove off and crashed.
A Sapph Cossie is fast but not so fast that it would do that sort of damage accelerating from a standstill with a flat tyre ?

Somebody used their ingenuity there. I imagine there is not a lot of traffic on that road at night, but wonder if other innocent traffic could have been caught up here. Can we have a photo of the plasterboard fixing next to a tin of custard OP, or did you forget to take it to the incident?
Holy s
t! The culprit should be looking at a manslaughter charge street racing or not, what a retard.

If you knew you had a punctured tyre, why would you go "racing off" after pulling over to have a look at it?
The way I read it was that the car had 'picked it up' when he'd stopped for a moment, and let the air out after he'd driven off without noticing it, rather than him stopping because he'd noticed it and carrying on regardlessdele said:
What?
"Did he drive off knowing there was a screw in his tyre?"
No, of course he didnt, what a retarded assumption
Street racing or not, its still a tragic thing to happen

It said the accident happened while he was doing about 80mph, would you travel at 80 with something like that sticking out of your tyre? I wouldn't.
