300z crashes into second storey of building

[Lavers]

Did anyone else hear anything about this?

All I heard was that the 24 year old was driving at approx 200km/h and jumped off the end of the road then landed in the second storey of some warehouse building.

Lucky to be alive.

From the pictures I think it was a silver 300z. But was just refered to as an imported nissan sports car.

It was a black 300zx

And the guy apparently fled the scene of the accident

[Sumo]

lol, any news story links?

[T0nyGTSt]

It's in the Vic forum.

Sounds like he wins the Nissan imports high jump contest!

[Zoix]

sounds pretty stupid to flee the acco when you own the car.

[predator]

E. for Effort, and 100 points for style!

[strutto]

F for ****ing Idiot...

[CGB_R32]

was on the news here in qld..... they diddnt say what car it was but i had a gut feeling it was an import...or else they wouldnt of shown it.... it showed it skimed the roof of what looks like a big warehouse... pretty good effort!

[Driver]

im sure he didnt flee the scene

i came in 1/2 way thru but he was in the ambo i think

[4door_Sleeper]

This guy obviously needed to spend more money on his tyres, as getting airborn (2nd story) must be a worst case of poor traction. anyone got a set of tyres they can lend him?

either that or the rear wing he installed was WAY TOO BIG.

[CGB_R32]

hahaha i like the rear wing idea

[junkie13]

i dont think its his tyre probs maybe it got to do with him doing 200 km/h

[Abo Bob]

Not many people survive crashes at 200 km/h so I'd be taking that with a grain of something. I've seen the result of a 250 km/h lose (estimated by the cops) in a new Monaro recently and he didn't really hit much but he was very bloody dead I can tell you.

Still, sounds like a d!ckhead who had our best interests at heart trying to remove himself from the gene pool.

[junkie13]

yeh the fastest i have done is 170km/h but thats pretty sensible for a 19year old but now i am 20 and all grown up and hardly ever speed

[sewid]

Yeah saw it on the news last night. Was a black TT 300zx. Launched into the air and went through the roof of a factory about 10metres high. I guess an embankment was involved.

Definatly was not doing 200 or anywhere near it as the damage to the building and car wasnt huge.

one year old makes you all grown up? yea right ..

Doesn't sound to sensible to me, dunno how you figure that. If you gonna speed just do it but dont try to say it's "sensible" :flamed:

[sewid]

I think he meant it in a self-deprecating manner guys... as in "when you are 19 you think that it's ok to do that" and that now he realises the error of his ways.

So quick to flame here...

[PranK]

i wonder if it was trying to be a sleeper?

heh...

somebody stop me!

G'day guys here is the article from the herald sun along with a piccie.

Airborne car flies into factory

A DRIVER cheated death when his car flew 60m through the air through a factory wall.

The man, in his 20s, walked away after he smashed through the second storey of the Scoresby factory just after midnight yesterday.

Police believe he was travelling about 140km/h on Koornang Rd when he missed an intersection.

The high-powered turbo car jumped a gutter, scraped across the footpath and up a bank before hitting the exhaust manufacturing company's wall at a height of 15m.

Scoresby CFA fireman Jim Read said the accident was unprecedented. "Having been in the fire brigade since 1969, I have never seen anything like that before," he said.

The Nissan 200ZX destroyed one office used by management as well as a canteen and the factory's huge heater.

A worker told the Herald Sun the car smashed through lights hanging from the 9.5m ceiling, missing a high-voltage wire by centimetres.

Police found the man trying to find a way out of the building.

He had minor cuts and bruises on his arms. He was taken to the Dandenong Hospital where he was kept overnight for observation.

It is believed he has told police he blacked out before the accident and could not remember anything.

Owner of the factory building, Leonard Abbey, said he first knew of the accident when security alarms were activated.

"I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed and came down . . . It was one of the weirdest things I have ever encountered," Mr Abbey said.

Fleetguard Australia business development manager Feroze Chowdary said the accident could have been a tragedy if it had occurred just one hour before.

"The afternoon shift finishes at 10.30pm -- we had people working all over the factory just an hour before," he said.

Cheers Lavers.
