Man Crashes RS6, walks away

The RS6 shown was not cut up by rescue workers. That is it's original conditon.
Here is the link:

(I'm not sure if they want pics posted in other places, so just to be safe I'm just going to leave the link).

Another reminder to drive safely and know your limits!
Have a great weekend everybody.

I don't think I have ever seen an accident that bad where someone walked away. AMAZING

Based on the photos, I can see the driver possibly walking away. Any other passengers would likely have been toasted.

Yea, I think he was lucky he was the only one inside the vehicle. Seeing as how the rest of the vehicle was annihilated, I'd say passengers are toast.

I think the impact (and of course speed) angle made it the right side of the vehicle take the brunt of the impact, so the back just snapped apart. Notice how the front is (relatively) lightly damaged, like the driver's side headlight, most of the hood, etc.. are still there. I say if it had been a full frontal impact, the driver may not have walked away.

That really is a miracle. So much destruction around driver's seat. Imagine what it must be like to see the rear end of your vehicle next you.
