Did anyone see the picture on page 70 of the June 1999 copy of wheels
mag? There is a picture of a yellow 1981-ish Sigma station-wagon
comprehensively wrapped around a tree.

If you look closely, you can still make out the drivers left arm in
the car, near the steering wheel......

Gross!

Regards

John

So was the rest of the driver *still* in the car?

I don't where else he could be if you saw the photo.

Well, his arm might be there but he could be in the A/C vent for all we
know.

Is it not at all possible that his arm was severed in the accident? ...

I think we can safely say that he was wrapped around the tree
(literally). From the photo it looks like he was wrapped backwards
around the tree, but I guess he could just have been mashed into the
seats. There is no way he could have gotten out of that crash alive
(or in one piece).

Take a look at the photo! I don't think it would be humanly possible
to remove the rest of the body, and leave a severed arm there! Put it
this way, there didn't look to be room for a body in the car, and the
arm was probably the only recognisable part left!

The stupid fool, typical American not to use a seatbelt, deserves all

Sunroof open. Friend rolled the car. Decapitation.

Funniest ( not humour funny ! ) thing I've seen in a while is a moron who
hit a tree somewhere between 60-100 kmh ( I went there but didn't do any of
the investigation ) .. no seatbelt ... 1980 sigma sedan... I was watching
the smokies cut him out from between the front of the seat and the
firewall... he was alive and mostly well!! his head hit the sunvisor and he
bounced down in front of the seat ... if he had of been a bit shorter he
would have gone straight through the windscreen.... It was on a straight bit
of freeway .. and it happened two trees away from the site of a previous
fatal... straight multi lane freeways .. better ban them !!

How is this racist? The accident happened in America, and as 80% of
people in America don't wear seatbelts my comment is factual.

And calling someone by their country name is NOT racist, I suggest you
look at a dictionary.

So? Not relevant to my comment. And only 5% of people in Australia
don't wear seatbelts (which make up 10% or 15% of the road toll).
