X5 Crash, Fire, Fatality.

Hi All -

I work in the media in Atlanta and this particular police press release caught my eye; I thought you guys may be interested as well since we are all X5 owners.

This was in reference to a double fatal accident in Cobb County, GA on I-75 on Nov 14th, 2013.

Apparently, a 2006 X5 was rear-ended by a tractor trailer on I-75 and was pushed into several other vehicles. The X5 caught fire and driver died as a result. There was another fatality in another vehicle as well.

Please see attached police press release in PDF format.

Here is the link to the WSB-TV story.

Pinto, X5, 1958 Caddilac... If a big enough truck hits it there is a high chance of fatality and fire. RIP.

While the X is a rather "safe" vehicle....pin it up against a semi that comes in at 40000+ lbs and all bets are off.

RIP

Actually 80,000 when loaded. I don't care what you drive, no car can withstand that. RIP.
