Merli Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 From the thread in General Automotive Discussion: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=110099 There was an accident involving a R33 GTST at 2am Friday night on Chetwyn Rd,Merrylands. There was four people in the car including a three year old boy and his mother. The boy and his mother survived, sadly the driver and front seat passenger did not.The accident was the next street down from my home address. I noticed it after leaving home this morning. The car has left a straight section of road, hit a tree with enough force to throw the engine into the park. The people live 100mtr's up the road and I see them all the time and the car all the time. There is no doubt they were speeding but there are some factors to consider and take on board. Firstly he has been driving around with the emergency spare on the drivers rear corner for the last 3 weeks. I mentioned he should change it asap as there is a real danger of it blowing out. Another factor is too hard suspension and 20 inch wheels which may have lifted the passengers front wheel causing loss of control. I believe this is what happened, losing complete control and carrering into a tree. People have been using this road for increasingly over the last few years to lay some power down. Only a week ago I knew something was going to happen sooner than later and it has. The thing is I expected it to be a few people with high powered V8's which have been ruteenly waking everyone up lately. Mabey a person being ran over or a crash, which has happened in the area numerous times resulting in death. Chetwyn rd really needs a camera there to slow people down before the inevitable happens which now has. If you want to go quick, go somewhere where there is an exit plan not high density suburbs. Track days, supersprints,N.T., etc or you may pay the price of life and your family and friends will suffer till their time comes. This guy was my neighbour. I saw him a few times a week driving past and stopped and chatted regulary. This includes the other people in the car. He only had the car a 2 months I think and that was it. I send my condolences and sympathy to all their family and friends for their loss. Steve "Questionable" driving with your 3 year old child and wife in the car, whilst sporting a space saver. Condolences to family and friends. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/110101-skyline-crash-in-merrylands/#findComment-2029944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0nyGTSt Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I used to live around Chetwynd Rd. - there is nothing at all wrong with the road. Don't be blaming roads for user error. If you saw the accident photos you'll see the car was split into three pieces... there was a neat cut right at the B-pillar. I'm guessing the car was doing AT least 80km/h, perhaps even 100+ at impact. This is certainly unsafe on a spacesaver. The other tyres were 20" chromes. You think that this would affect the handling of the car?
