edit: oh right...just google mapped...lol small street :)

no more jokes please. They were comming back from a funeral and it was him and his mom. He is in the hospital she was but has since been released. He broke 4 ribs and something else I find out more tommorow.

Which C-Lai did this?

ouch, will this be considered as a single vehicle accident where he is 100% at fault?

that sucks if icbc increases his premiums.

The article doesn't mention that the vehicle was driven by an asian teenage girl with a N.

Richmond bubble phenomenon.

That looks like a Cayanne S.

very curious to know!

No it isnt being considered a single vehicle accident. I forgot what it was called but I believe this goes against his comprehensive coverage. Its under one of the terms in the ICBC agreement. In this case its most likly going to be classified as a natural disaster.

Whats fucked is most people deny the extra coverage for this type of incedent.

Definitely shouldn't.

The couple were driving along Westminster Hwy, and a tree was blown over directly onto the Cayenne, where the hood/windshield intersect. They were lucky it didn't fall a fraction of a second later, or earlier, as the results of the accident would have been far worse.

As it is, it's amazing that it happened, and it makes you realize that the odds of getting hit by a meteorite are still pretty high, for example, but not impossible.

And no, they were not Asian. It was a Caucasian couple. The roof was removed by the rescue services to gain access to the vehicle's occupants.

As far as insurance, it'll fall (no pun intended) under comprehensive, most likely. If you ever inquire, comprehensive's there to cover things like falling objects, accidentally scraping your car while scraping ice off, accidentally closing your garage door on it, etc. That being said, it may be considered collision, as the vehicle was in fact moving at the time of the act of nature. Hardly an at-fault claim, though.

They were not caucasian either and it wasn't a couple. It was him and his mother. :)

Regardless, it doesn't matter who was driving, it could have happened to anyone. It was a random freak accident involving a tree being blown over onto the roadway.

For all the people laughing and making jokes about it, I'm sure you'll be laughing and joking just as much if it ever happens to you or someone you know/care about.

wow what a mess... look at the headlight floating away :o

why was there no airbag deployment? i can understand that a tree falling on top of it wouldn't trigger and side/curtain airbags, but i would have thought crashing into a ditch would have at least set off the front ones? :confused:

wow i really like this new model

:haha: The same thoughts game to my mind when I read the first post

c'mon guys it's not like it was the driver's fault.
