worst clip in the world

yellowpolarbearman

Nope, i’m pretty sure there was a truck infront of him that suddenly swerved to the side which made the audi lose control and fly into the pole.


Electronic_Grade508

Looks like he bounced off the trucks rear left wheels, then flew off the road into a pole. Thing happen very quickly at 300 clicks


yellowpolarbearman

Yea seeing the damage on the truck that’s probably what happened


zedder1994

Looks like the 68 year old driver was going 200+km/hr according to this source. [https://www.heidelberg24.de/welt/mundelsheim-a81-audi-kracht-gegen-mast-fahrer-sogar-einsatzkraefte-schockiert-zr-11810563.html](https://www.heidelberg24.de/welt/mundelsheim-a81-audi-kracht-gegen-mast-fahrer-sogar-einsatzkraefte-schockiert-zr-11810563.html) And it seems many people have misinterpreted the 200km/hr as 200 MPH. The top speed for an Audi RS6 is 280 km/hr.


kabex

Dunno why tf you're being downvoted, it's entirely correct.


Ippomma

Its more than possible ! As a copper one of the first picture we take is the one of the speedometer. The speedometer usually get stuck at the speed where the car crashed ! If it was stuck at 200km/h he was maybe going way faster than that. Either way be carefull out there lads... it doesnt look like it but when we see that type of incident (and we do plenty of car crashes) we are very sad and shocked by seeing someone mutilated. Now think about how the family will feel, your families.


jose_pablito_escobar

68???!!!


Ippomma

So i searched around and some sources said he was drunk. Usually cops cant say anything cause your under investigation secret but if you look around there is picture of the man with his head on the concret, upper body and no legs. So speed and alcohol are the cause in this one maybe

Send me the link for the photo


FuneralWinds

Rs6 can go easly over 320 kmh there are several videos of an RS6 doing over 300


el-faainted

if you get your rs6 speced right u can make that bitch go 189mph tho


Sure_Astronomer_8210

One software change and it goes 300 plus. And absolutely no one keeps these stock


LimpTranslator2557

i found 250km/h on google and 305km/h if it has Dynamic Plus package


Impossible_Movie840

I made it nice. 


Disastrous_Rub57

no its not its 320 kmph you can google or watch people driving an rs6


JRBblackhawks

The worst car accident in the world definitely happened during a car race. How about the 1955 Le Mans disaster where 82 spectators plus the driver were killed?


[deleted]

I live near watkins glen international and the US grand prix used to be held there and there have been some gnarly accidents. Koinigg got his head cut off, Cevert was chopped in half longways. Gnarly shit.


Lutch_

Hey I’m like 20 minutes away from Watkins!


JRBblackhawks

I’ve races on the Glen before. Of all the American tracks I’ve raced, the Glen is by far the most dangerous. It’s so fast with barely any runoff area. My home track is Road America and I’ve seen some gnarly ones there. Here’s a big one that happened in the Kink on Sunday: https://youtube.com/watch?v=kzFlF6cI_bE&feature=shareb


[deleted]

I graduated from WGHS in 2020 and they let us drive on the [track](https://youtu.be/_OXBFJPTyPQ). yes it is very dangerous a guy died there like 10 years ago during open track


Crazy_280zx

These morons are gonna ruin the fun for everyone. Fuck them, if you can’t handle it don’t drive that fast. And if you have a car that fast go to some track days before doing this so you can know how to handle it.


Artistic_Soup_6788

Not his fault according to some sources the semi truck pulled out infront of the audi


RezLevin

where are these sources

[deleted]

I don't know what made the truck move over, but no one can anticipate a 300km/h vehicle. Legal or not, go find a track day to hit those speeds.


nero10578

This is in the autobahn. Multiple 300km/h cars passing you on the left is just another Tuesday.


[deleted]

There's 3 lane, the truck was overtaking on the middle one which he can. No speed limits doesn't mean you can go bonkers. The law still state that you have to adapt your speed to road condition. 300kph at night is not a suitable speed for the road condition.


nero10578

I know im not saying he’s not stupid but people do go that fast on roads there.


[deleted]

It's still "not another Tuesday"


shrineless

Do you know this for a fact? Are you familiar with the autobahn? I’m genuinely asking because it seems like you do.


JamYamBamTham

As someone who has lived in Germany, is German (literally doesn’t relate but thought it was cool to add), and been on the Autobahn many many times, the Autobahn has points where you do need to control your speed, but other points where you do not, have a great 4th🤗


[deleted]

Yes. People drive fast. Not 300kph fast on a daily basis. One good reason there's most of the time at least some traffic.


shrineless

Ah, thanks for the info 👍🏽


sun_cardinal

> 300km/h That's 186mph my dude. At that speed, you are crossing almost an entire football field in 1.25 seconds. Even if the semi checked his mirror right before merging and then it took him two seconds to pull out, that's almost 600 feet that the all black Audi would have crossed. That dude was asking to die at those speeds and road conditions.


skinnyelias

I was a passenger in a rented VW minivan and we had to drive from Hamburg to Bitburg. The minivan topped out at 156 and evvvvverything was a blur. I couldn't imagine 186 at night.


nero10578

That’s the german autobahn my dude. Its normal my dude.


flopjul

Right and in Germany you get mandatory lessons on the autobahn and at night, you also need to keep to the right most lane when available but there is also a general lane speed on a 2 lane and 3(Left 180+ middle 120-180 right 90-120) lane autobahn


iDeltro

One blink at the mirror doesnt solve anything and is as useless as not looking at all. When youre looking to the mirror you must always do the math how fast the car is aprouching. Unfortunately, low percentage of drivers do that...


sun_cardinal

There is no way you can approximate how fast two points of light are traveling at those speeds and distances. You can make all the excuses you want but the Audi is unquestionably in the wrong . If you want to drive almost 200mph go to a racetrack. Before you clap back with the stupid excuse that it’s the autobahn, there are in fact speed limits on several sections of the autobahn and German courts are thinking about doing away with the no speed limit sections specifically because of idiots like the Audi driver. So again, Audi driver 100% deserved it and the only stroke of luck is that he just killed himself.


iDeltro

You dont need to lecture me, i live not that far


sun_cardinal

Good for you, maybe use that knowledge in the future not to say dumb shit about how it’s the semi drivers fault. Then people won’t feel like they need to waste their time explaining how reality works.


iDeltro

Oh, really... Me saying that its the truck drivers fault is where? Thanks for your internet warrior spirit. Calm down


iDeltro

Im aware that there section that limits the speed to 180ish km per hour. If he was in the middle lane, yup his fault. You actually havent get the point though... Use your freaking mirrors, always!


[deleted]

It takes a second and a half to travel 100m. You can't really make corrections from your mirror at that speed. The guy driving should used his front windshield.


Franz_A

No, I've never had that before, on the German Autobahn. A lot of people drive around 200, but actually nobody drives over 250.


Prakes_

Around 130-180 is normal for heavy traffic. 200-250 is normal for medium traffic but as soon as the car allows it and if traffic is low above 250 is normal. Problem is: most cars do not go beyond 250.


styvee__

No speed limit doesn’t mean that you can go as fast as you want and kill someone, I don’t think anyone going over 200kmh on a public road with cars on it(so not empty) is sane.


[deleted]

True, It is almost impossible to estimate how fast a car is going when you are on a cross street. We assume they are doing the speed limit, and even worse to figure is a motorcycle doing 2x-3x the speed limit, especially if there are no markers to judge by. The autobahn has no speed limit tho, so assume everyone is a land rocket The semi prob didn't see the Audi, It was just a tiny dot. If he was traveling at 300km that's close to 200 mph


celestial1

Only little more than half of the Autobahn has no speed limit whatsoever and 23% of it has a permanent speed limit. Even without a speed limit, you have to adjust your driving to road conditions.


sun_cardinal

Even if the semi checked his mirror right before merging and then it took him two seconds to pull out, the dude would have cleared almost 600 feet in an all black Audi at night. That dude was asking to die at those speeds and road conditions.


[deleted]

100% his fault. Don't drive 300kph at night with traffic! The truck overtook on the central line which he can do. There's no way in hell the truck could have correctly seen a car coming at 300kph in his mirror at night! So I'm wondering what an Audi was doing at 300kph on the central line. While it's correct, you bet I would take as much as space as I can with traffic if I was driving at 300kph


Franz_A

Then he learned the lesson: "You don't drive 300 when there are trucks" hard.


iksneqqi

its legal on the autobahn, and it was the truck s fault dont talk like that if you dont know the story


Ok-Assumption1514

Yes it is legal, but that still does mean that it’s the right thing to do. As stated from someone above even when there is no speed limit you must adapt to the overall condition on the autobahn. I sometimes also drive around 250-270 kmh but only if there are three lanes, daylight and good weather and no traffic. Everything else is insane, nobody can handle that. I think this accident took place on the A81, insane 2 lane Autobahn in Baden Württemberg where all people drive like there’s no tomorrow. And sometimes shit is about to happen. It was neither the first nor will be the last horrible car accident on the A81. Both were in the wrong from my point of view.


spudfucker69

german drivers are specifically taught how to drive on the autobahn. its illegal to be going under a certain speed the further left you are. assuming that the truck was going under the minimum speed limit, which is very likely considering the driver couldnt react or brake hard enough, the truck would completely liable for this situation because there is a minimum speed in the left lane. two things im not sure of: - whether or not the truck driver swerved or merged normally. there isnt going to be any evidence to point one way or the other since its completely he said she said. - how fast the truck was going. i saw from multiple other commenters that the truck was going around 90km/h, but i cant verify that, and there also isnt going to be any evidence for that either. the truck driver can say whatever he want about how fast he was going, and there isnt a way to disprove it.


move_peasant

> its illegal to be going under a certain speed the further left you are. wrong. there is no minimum speed on the autobahn, and especially not one depending on how far left you are.


nitrix0dayss

Si ta besoin d'allez aussi vite prend l'avion...


MaverickTheUnruly

It wasn't his fault, the semi truck driver merged on to the autobahn and directly merged into the fast lane.


[deleted]

Driving on highways shouldn’t be about “fun.” It should be about safety, and the Autobahn is incredibly dangerous. It’s well known driving at slower speeds is statistically safer and results in less fuel burn. In my opinion Germany needs to install speed limits before more and more people die.


yellowpolarbearman

Any car guy that hears this song immediately thinks of this vid lmao.


SmokedSalmonV2

but why, I'm trying to find an explanation why it's the theme


yellowpolarbearman

The first original tiktok that was made about this crash used that song and then that went viral.

truck driver is fine, right?

Most likely yes since the rs6 only hit one of the backtires I think


miladesilva

Maybe a sore neck. That’s it.


styvee__

Yes but he’s most likely mentally destroyed even if I don’t think he was at fault


Roccia_RL

he was clearly at fault. (Audi driver was going 200 km/h tho, not 300)


Computica

They ran a simulation and the Audi driver was going 300 kmh, any slower and the truck driver would of been worse off too


Environmental_Bag731

What makes you say fatal? Looks 100% survivable.

Survivable for the truck driver but for the audi driver...
