Ariel atom crash

Somewhere in Europe in a magical land filled with lederhosen and unicorns (belgium) a man was driving his Ariel Atom home after it had been worked on in a shop. Rumor* is that his accelerator stuck and causing him to lose traction and fly into the brick wall at a rate of speed high enough to completely smash the front. Rumor* is that the driver suffered 2 broken legs when the crush zones crumpled. From the looks of it the passenger wouldn’t have bode too well either. I am not surprised that it looks this bad, it is basically a supercar/gokart and they can only be so safe.

I say rumored because I have yet to find a story on this crash, just the pictures that I posted from sharpimages.be and a story from someone in the area.

  1. 1 mangled leg and one clean break for the driver + 1 broken leg for the passenger. It does not look all that bad consiedring this photo was taken after the driver was cut out.
