Petone Crash

Recommended Posts

I took the following photo cycling home last night, is why the Hutt trains were not running, it's the petone offramp and for the life of me I couldn't work out how the guy got there. I couldn't see where his missing wheel was nor where all the smashed glass was, but he rolled it whilst travelling apparently 100m along the tracks...

So here's the google map image with paint showing what I think. I think he failed to take the bend and smashed into the culvert on an angle that ripped the whole right strut off, flipping the car, and making him end up where the pic shows.

At any rate, very awesome scene, benefits of biking :)

saw it on the news. Can't understand how it got down there but he must have lost it on the overpass quite early....

10/10 for effort and not dying in the process.
