Any info on this accident George My take on it is, it looks as if the car mustve been flying down that backroad, spun out of control sliding sideways into a tree so hard that it snaped the car in 2 and then the 2 halves disinegrated

Vic. I was pointed this way by my cousin. This guy called Nuno Borralho posted these pics hosted by a portuguese site called SAPO.pt

Here is his homepage: http://www.nunoborralho.com/

Here is the article that went with the crash:

Vic, Ovar is the next town north of where my parents have their place. I know this road very well. Its a popular route to take to avoid the autoban. There is always accidents there.
