Does that large spring in the driveway mean it was a Cherokee, not a Grand, or does it just mean some doofus tried to corner a non-air suspension Grand?
The headlights are on, but can't tell if they are the slashes of the Cherokee or the U shapes of a Grand, and the rear and sides are bunged up enough I can't tell there either...
Nice to see that 5,000 lbs upside down didn't crush the roof. Hopefully none of us ever wind up in a roll over crash but glad to see the truck held up pretty well for the occupants inside.
Guy should be charged for wrecking that beautiful machine in addition to reckless driving.
Just goes to prove there's a Turkey in every neighbourhood .... also proves beyond doubt that some peeps should NEVER be allowed to breed ... they should rip his nutbags out in the same manner he ripped that rear wheel out geeeez what a shameful murder of an innocent beautiful Animal
I think this guy is going to find driving much more expensive going forward. Does insurance even cover a claim when you are cited for reckless driving?
Something else had to go wrong in addition to stupidity. Maybe his lug nuts where loose. I cannot imagine a wheel coming off like that even if you hit something.
I had a misfortune of hitting a construction debrief while going 70 on a highway. Tire exploded, wheel cracked in half but stayed bolted on. I know, I'm lucky to be alive.
Likely not loose lug nuts. If you look closely the wheel is still happily attached to the suspension components. It didn't come off. The suspension was ripped apart and came away with the assembly.
The picture shows where the vehicle came to rest. Where and what he hit isn't even in the picture. To me, just another indicator of a high rate of speed impact.
The hit a curb theory can't be totally right as the curb profile is one of those rolled curbs that don't require a curb cut for a driveway. It isn't a straight up curb.
Besides, a little body work and alignment and you're good to go!
