Car flipped on SW Marine near UBC
 
Anyone know what happened?

When I drove by it looked like a gold 350Z upside down on the other side of the median.

only 2 cop cars on the scene.

Drift fail.

Just happened? I was going to UBC at around 2:30pm and everything was fine, except for some big puddles on the shoulder.

Gold 350Z? is that the one from Yesterday meeting?

nosaj 03-23-2009 03:43 PM

orange7 03-23-2009 03:44 PM

hydro plane then hit a dry spot and flip

twitchyzero 03-23-2009 04:19 PM

went by at 4pm..saw the same thing. orange 350z..2 cop cars and no ambulance
probably going too fast and hydroplaned.

Right at the intersection of Wesbrook and SW Marine Dr

there's like no curve in that part of the stretch tho

HKS PWR 03-23-2009 04:25 PM

It looked like a Sunset Lemans 350Z somehow made it way into the ditch near the Wesbrook intersection. The ambulance and firetruck left the scene around 3:40pm.

stealth604 03-23-2009 05:18 PM

yup saw the ambulances and police cars.

roastpuff 03-23-2009 05:26 PM

And then there were two other cars there too - red Accord Coupe and grey Camry. I don't know if they were witnesses or if they were involved in another accident at that spot.

The flipped-over car looks like a 350Z, that orangish color that's so popular on Z's.

2 cops cars, 2 ambulances, one firetruck, one highway van (yellow flashers).

Passed by it on my way home.

No way... MAYBE if it was an SUV or something with a high centre of gravity... but no way for a sports car.
