Crash Tuesday [VIDEO]

A special "video" crash Tuesday today. Enjoy!

Fire Truck + MINI COOPER = Never a good outcome!

"According to investigators, a fire crew heading to an emergency-medical call collided with a Mini-Cooper. We're told the fire truck did have its emergency lights turned on at the time."*

On a more somber note, this in from NorCal...

"The 19-year-old driver of a Mini Cooper who crashed into a mini-van last weekend, killing a Sonoma family of four, was arrested for drunken driving when he was 17, according to the CHP..."

Hopefully this is no one we know... (funny how they don't even try to fuzz out the plate number!)

Crash Tuesday (Racing Edition)

Road racing doesn't usually count for "Crash Tuesday", considering that there is always at least one crash per any auto race (which is partially why auto racing is such a popular spectator sport!). However, for this installment, I thought a nice compilation video would be appropriate! Enjoy!

Crash Tuesday [photo] [warning: blood and gore]

A staged photo*

*Before I get a ton of hate mail... this is apparently a staged photo from a UK program called "Hammer House of Horror". Now that I you know it's fake, it's okay to say "whooooaaa!"

Hartford Man, Apparently Fueled By Heroin, Crashes Into Hydrant - Courant.com

Sucks to be this guy!!

Hartford Man, Apparently Fueled By Heroin, Crashes Into Hydrant - Courant.com

By LYNN DOAN The Hartford Courant

HARTFORD - A 34-year-old Hartford man, who appears to have been under the influence of heroin, barreled through a red light at Broad Street and Capitol Avenue this morning before knocking down a fire hydrant in front of The Hartford Courant headquarters and then crashing into a median, police said.

Witnesses told police that Noel Salaberrios of Hartford had run a red light while heading northbound on Broad Street, nearly hitting a pedestrian, and then lost control and crashed into a fire hydrant outside the Courant building. Salaberrios apparently swerved after hitting the fire hydrant and crashed into a median on Broad Street, where he was found by a police officer at about 9:30 a.m.

Police found Salaberrios unconscious, clutching two empty bags of heroin in a 2006 silver MINI Cooper. A needle was found on the console of the car.

Salaberrios was taken to Hartford Hospital. The Metropolitan District was at the scene this morning to retrieve the fire hydrant, which had flown into the bushes planted outside the Courant building.
