Vehicular Accidents

[_Cathy_]

^ mukhang wigo iyong tinamaan tapos ford ranger ata iyong pick-up?

I'm wondering if the passengers of the Wigo would have survived if they were in a bigger vehicle (Fortuner, Montero, Hilux or even a Civic)? I remember a vios na accidente sa EDSA parang ganyan din na pinitpit, pero miraculously the driver was unscathe. Best ad for Vios

the 2023 wigo has a... controversial high crash rating.
but a crash that horrific...!
i do not think any crash rating could insulate the occupants...

i mean,
the pickup didn't crash onto the front bumper of the wigo.
the pick up fell onto the wigo at speed.

years ago,
there was this crash comparison involving extended limos.
"it is not as safe inside", as one might imagine.

probably. but are the circumstances the same? kasi the wigo was pummeled from both ends, as i understand it. plus i'm guessing the vehicles in this particular accident were travelling at a higher speed given the wide open vrooming space the tplex offers.

also, a dokyu i watched before stated that , in a vehicular accident, aside from the actual collision of the vehicles, there's another more significant impact that happens, the one where one's "floating brain" gets banged and smashed around the skull's insides. it said the brain can literally be a mush after a high impact smash-up...if the spinal cord doesn't get severed first.

i guess this also underscores the importance of wearing seatbelts for passengers occupying the rear seats. we're pretty lax when it comes to that.

Ito nga malimit na nakakalimutan kaya I always make sure na kapag long drive, everyone should use the seatbelt. City driving naman kasi na mabilis na 60kph medyo safe pa lalo na sa crawling traffic.

he probably thought it was not that deep, and the current not that strong.

he probably thought it was not that deep, and the current not that strong.

and because he's driving a 4x4 and has a snorkel

felt he could conquer anything

some time back, there was a similar item here in tsikot.
the metro street was flooded (caloocan, near MCU?).
and there was this jeep rubicon.
the driver successfully drove thru the malalim na baha, and he was roundly applauded at the other end.
folks were discussing the vehicle's ford-ability, and how the driver used it.
when he was interviewed, however, he confessed that he did not know any of that.
"all i wanted, was to get home."

Bumusina pa nung una (Unwritten translation: "Tabi diyan, mahina kasi mga sasakyan nyo!")

Paglusong, speed up pa!

When the LC starts getting carried away by the current, he realizes helpless pala siya.

YABANG kasi.

Maraming ganyan even here sa NCR.

Pag bumaha, may mga ibang owners of tall vehicles na pinapaalon pa lalo, eh kitang hirap na hirap na yung mga naka sedan at compacts.


Sa manual ko, may warning to be careful at fording running water. Even if just a foot or two deep, the vehicle can be swept away pa rin. Never underestimate the power of moving water, and never get too overconfident about your vehicle, kahit civilian Hummer pa yan.

4WD can only give you better traction under slippery & muddy conditions, but doesn't give you SUPERPOWERS...

1. You never know how deep the water can get.
2. You don't know what the water may be concealing underneath (boulder, butas na malalim, rebars, etc.)

so why haven't they put "it" to the side of the road yet?
it's causing traffic.

Akśidėƞte sa EDSA Carousel lane


Ipinakita pa talaga maseselang footages. Kulang na lang pati yung ulo ipakita.

Surely MMDA can Identify the white SUV since there are several cameras ahead of the accident site where SUV must have passed along EDSA... The SUV would have gotten off EDSA the first exit after the accident.

Inaantay ata ang SOCO bago igalaw yung decapitated body.

in my simplistic view,
what other information will soco glean, that has not yet been gleaned?
witness testimonies and a few pictures are all that are needed...

the scene is causing so much discomfort to the motorists.
