Not really related to any of the discussions posted previously in this forum - but this is what happens when you combine alcohol with stupidity; worse yet in a pickuptruck.

*WARNING* The image is graphic but is real. Do NOT click if you are easily offended or do not wish to view graphic content.

This is a REAL accident, a 15 y.o female passenger lost her life due to head injuries. Pickup truck with a tray full of people in Honduras overturned when the speeding driver lost control of the vehicle "due to a fault in the highway".

Still wanna race and drive recklessly??
(*edited post for updated information - occurred in Honduras, not the USA)

P.S. there is a full video of this tragic accident on youtube as well.

*updated the original posting with more information
- accident happened in Honduras, not the USA
- pickup tray was an entire family who were taking to hospital
- 15 y.o. girl lost her life due to heavy internal injuries and head injuries.

Tragic accident, all preventable if some measure of control and safety-minded consciousness was exercised.

Drive safely everyone, save lives.

That was real stupidness- why would anyone want to drift in a pickup- worse yet when it full of people?

He looked like he was trying to drift.. Similar to the crazy arab drifting you see on utube..

Regardless - this vid shows two things:
- Pickups are inherently unstable and prone to roll-over, due to the high COG
- What happens when you transport people instead of cargo in the tray

Drive safe and drive smart, everyone.
