Thumbs up Look what I just got woken up to, darn Jeep attacking a taco

This happened 3 apartments down from me, scared me and my wife $#^tless when it woke us up suddenly at 1:15am. Jeep says someone cut him off and he swerved off the main road, over a median, over the street and stop sign, knocked down a pillar then entered the guy with the taco's apartment.(he's having a bad night by the way, bricks bounced off his taco and a hole in his apartment) Inside the blue square you can see inside his apartment and the shoulder of a guy standing there.

Seems to me that the jeep was going awful fast, or not "with it". I'm not sure what things are like in other areas, but around me, we don't have many stop signs on residential roads where the speed limit is more than 30mph. Even at 35mph, it doesn't take long to get stopped if you're paying attention. Even if he was cut off, I'm guessing he was at least partially at fault for things getting as bad as they did.

Must have been testing out the trail readiness. Those Jeeps can make it through anything.

Anybody else notice the "performance" exhaust? I guess it made the Heep a little too fast!

Hmmmm, no skid marks.

We had a Honda car run a stop kight and hit the side of one of our semi trailers. The nose ot the car was sticking out the opposite side of the trailer, and the top of the car was sheared off. Truck driver called 911, and they pulled the guy out almost un-injured (had passed out and was laying across pass seat when hit truck)

He would have been "topless" if he was sitting upright.

Yeah I would say that guy was going a little faster than he should have been to create that much damage. How old was the guy?
