What happens when a Suburban loses control at 110+ MPH?

vw1972bugs · Mar 1, 2005

Answer = Carnage

This guy blows away his wife and her friend and goes on a 15 min chase. I guess what goes around comes around.

Man,

I know where that is. I was born and raised in St Louis.
Notice the cops coming in at the end to "subdue" the suspect. I love that....

Actually, the cops were coming in at that time to see if they could render aid.

I was involved in a high speed pursuit with a Yukon last summer. He reached 110 mph and lost control. Rolled 6 times. The driver lived (and in fact tried to run away). Two female passengers in the rear with one losing a hand at the wrist and the other losing the arm from the elbow down. My pursuit vehicle was a marked Tahoe that I would not take over 70 mph for public safety.

The lesson; SUV's don't do well at high speed no matter how good you think you are......

Nope this guy is dead as a doornail. He died right on the spot. I think this just happened recently within the past week or so. Like I said, he shot his wife and her friend and tried to get away. The police actually stayed really far back and were not right on his tail. There was no need to go THAT fast.

P.S. Notice how he jumped the underpass. Crazyness.

Being a firefighter/paramedic I have seen many accidents like this (none actually on video as it happened) but you would be suprised at what people can survive or not survive. As far as seat belts go they can actually help or hurt, I was in accident where I wasnt wearing a seatbelt and if I had been I would not be here today. Definately crazy though seeing someone eject @ over 100mph, atleast he was in one piece...as I have seen them eject and ran over by 18 wheelers soon there after and totally unidentifable.

He died. He was running from the cops after killing his estranged wife and her friend in front of his 3 kids. The paper speculated it was a suicide crash. Check the St. Louis Sunday Post Dispatch. We were in St. Louis this past weekend for kids hockey games. He apparently had terrorized and abused his family for years, she filed for divorce and he couldn't take it. He deserved to die.He saved the state a lot of money, he would have been of death row for years.

I agree. SUVs do not do well at over 75-80mph. I had a Durango and I took it up to 100 only once. It was simply not comfortable at that speed. Now the Titan on the other hand, that is one comfortable ride at speed.

Wow...that is absolutely incredible. Darwin's theory proven once again. Could have killed someone who didn't need it. Otherwise, GOOD FLICK!

He obviously learned nothing from OJ's white Bronco chase.

I went on a high speed foray in a 88 Chevy pickup when I was 16. I busted up my ribs and nose but was very lucky, I rolled end over end and was ejected too. Needless to say, I now wear my seat belt!

I looked it up online, and yes he was fatally injured in the crash.
