Default Terrible accident in the wet : 2 burn to death in S2000

On a rainy day, an S2k overtakes a truck, spins in the process and is rear-ended by an oncoming truck. Probably the two occupants were already dead or unconscious as they burned to death.


The news text in German here :

This is a cruel reminder to be extremely careful driving an s2000 in the wet.

Take care,
.dave.

OK, that's the worst one I've seen. Generally while the car is totalled, the interior holds up extremely well on the S2k. I wonder what started the fire. It's a terrible sight to see and anyone who's ever been on the receiving end of the phone call to break the news understands. I feel for their family. Thank you for posting this it might make people think twice about driving too aggressively. KNOW YOUR LIMITS IN ALL SITUATIONS.
