Colbalt accident on Blanshard
 
Stopped at timmies and noticed fire trucks and police cars at the intersection around 9pm tonight. Apparently this red Cobalt somehow managed to destroy itself and take down a lamp pole / traffic light on a straight road..

Only got a really crappy pic on my phone of it, can't really tell that theres nothing left of the front and fenders of the car. Anyone know what happened? Guy musta been HAULING ass down there.

Where on Blanshard is that? I can't tell...

ChrisStang 01-06-2009 04:41 AM

Looks like a total ricer. Was likely driving as such and lost control. If it is a new SS, it was likely too much car for the driver.

Bagged_Camaro 01-06-2009 05:53 AM

lol, I think that car was on the used lot at Vic BMW some time ago.

Gigarange 01-06-2009 07:03 AM

speed was the only issue I know of.

Traffic analysts had things marked out as far back as the esso station and it looks like the car was already out of control well before the intersection.

I didn't get the OK to tow it until 1am this morning.

The streetlights must have reflected into his eyes from the bling.

Great68 01-06-2009 08:28 AM

I doubt it's a new SS,

#1 There's probably less than a dozen on the whole island, including the unsold ones at the dealerships
#2 Not a lot of aftermarket rims fit to clear the width of the brembos.

Ok, I know exactly where that is now... Stupid for going 140km/h around that bend!

Might be his! I remember hanging out at Clover Point and I see this middle aged guy in a Cobalt blasting his stereo going in circles for 10 mins! Then he parks beside my car for a bit. After that, he leaves. Wonder if it's the same guy. Must feel young inside still...

That pole has bad luck, a big rig took it out in the summer.

jigga250 01-06-2009 07:59 PM

couldnt handle the massive amount of power

Eastwood 01-07-2009 07:37 PM

A couple of my friends have had runs with him on the street before. They said he was a goof. He's almost 40 and he's racing kids from stop-lights.

This was my friends, not me BTW.

shenmecar 01-07-2009 08:40 PM

those ugly ass wheels mustve lost balance and went into the light post

BC-X 01-08-2009 08:28 AM

Sad example of our cars, and some shitty driving. Seen it around for a while, its an SS S/C.
I thought Chris ($$$$$$$$) did some work on a red one, Stage 2 and other stuff.

Semper 01-08-2009 02:32 PM

Lol at the news article, I read it thinking it was a Porsche or something. "The headlights from his sports car were found more than 200 metres ..."

TouringTeg 01-08-2009 03:06 PM

Headlights found near Boston Pizza! Damn!
