Ute crash
This is the story as recieved- This happened in Kalgoorlie Saturday night (10/03/07)... VU SS torn in half @ 150kmh!! At about 6pm tonight the Ute below was travelling down a 50kmh zone @ an eye witness estimates between 150-200kmh. They have gone through 1 of Kalgoorlie's notorious spoon drains and launched into the air, upon bouncing back to earth something broke and the driver lost control. They have jumped the curb and launched passenger side on into the tree pictured. It has literally torn the ute in half, separating fuel tank, rear firewall, tray, bumpers and tray liner. In the photo from side on of the cab you can see the fuel tank on the ground between the police. The owner of the ute is just 21 and hasn't had the car for long, he was not driving his mate was at age 17. In one of the photos there is a Cougar can on the ground next to the car and witnesses say they appeared to be drunk. Initial reports were the owner was out of the ute yelling at his mate 'look what you have done to my ute', the driver was laying on the ground. Both got away with only scratches and the driver had a bruised shoulder and is also getting charged with reckless driving.
