[–]BD2600 27 points28 points ago

you can see the drivers left arm, he's still sitting in the seat just slightly to the left of the truck license plate

[–]JBurrows_ 9 points10 points ago

And some stuff on the back of the trailer.

[–]SadTruth_HappyLies 12 points13 points ago

And some stuff forehead on the back of the trailer.

[–]Tron-Gorf 1 point2 points ago

I see Torgo's staff sticking out the back.

[–]omgsnacks 0 points1 point ago

The master will not be pleased.

[–]Toadgod86 2 points3 points ago

That's just jam.

[–]wnz 2 points3 points ago

traffic jam

[–]boxingdude 20 points21 points ago

He's gonna probably need some stiches. Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. But I spent the night at a holiday inn express.

[–]NeObliviscaris89 3 points4 points ago

My friend from high school was one of the first EMT's on scene. What was left of his head was in the rear of the vehicle and a phone was clutched in his right hand. Texting was the suspected cause of crash.

If it fits, I sits: Motherfucking truck edition

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points ago

Was I the only one that immediately zoomed in looking for a body?

[–]Provenzer0 7 points8 points ago

My first zoom was to try and identify the state in which this happened by the license plate, then I shifted left to look for a body parts.

[–]lokimuffin 10 points11 points ago

Hi! I believe it is a New York lisence plate, I live in NY and I have the new ugly yellow plates on my car but those are the old colored plates.

[–]lokimuffin 5 points6 points ago

On the corvette at least it was a New York Plate.

[–]ktm_rider[S] 4 points5 points ago

Did a little research after posting this. I believe it happened in New Jersey. There are many different versions of the story so it's hard to be sure.

[–]Skeeball_Fanatic 18 points19 points ago

Wut?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Proof read.

[–]Stig101 0 points1 point ago

I recently visited NY. I am from Ohio and our DUI plates look almost exactly like those yellow plates you guys have. Took a while to get used to. All I kept thinking is, man NY has a lot of drunks.

[–]DiHydro 2 points3 points ago

Yes, first I saw the blood, then I saw the arm.

[–]Lytharon 0 points1 point ago

My first zoom was looking for something added to the image that would make it not a repost. Did not find.

[–]khavyer 1 point2 points ago

yes, but couldn't see anything

[–]Poster_Nutbag12 9 points10 points ago

That's quite the...compact car..

[–]chingyduster 4 points5 points ago

yeeeaaaa!!

[–]Shonuff8 5 points6 points ago

It'll buff out.

[–]Provenzer0 4 points5 points ago

I saw something similar a few months ago on the NJ Turnpike, a truck was on the shoulder of the road (like this one) and an impatient driver in a smaller car swerved to the shoulder to see who was holding up traffic and ran right under the trailer.

[–]harabec01 1 point2 points ago

Witnessed a similar situation. Was on the Parkway near exit 80 when I saw a car swerve off the right side to pass but there was a disabled vehicle and the driver turned right more instead of going back in lane (guess it was a split second reaction) and hit the guard rail. Ended up upside down with the front bumper leaning on the rail after it skidded to a halt.

[–]MartyF81 5 points6 points ago

Rim looks ok.

[–]fa_cube_itch 4 points5 points ago

Is that an arm I see near the truck's license plate?

[–]lindsey216 2 points3 points ago

Where is it's Mansfield bar??? Isnt that required on all trucks so this doesn't happen?

[–]Zugzub 3 points4 points ago

It's there, at least whats left of it. Look by the rear wheel of the car. You hit the ass end of a semi that hard, an ICC bumper ain't going to do jack shit

[–]bds0688 1 point2 points ago

Somewhere in the car.

[–]bekib00 5 points6 points ago

No texting while driving? I guess he...didn't get the message.

[–]SaggyBallsHD 3 points4 points ago

That joke is semi offensive.

[–]ktm_rider[S] 6 points7 points ago

Recievecd this in an email today from my dad. Apparently the drivers head was found in the backseat while the rest of his body was still seatbelted in. He was texting when the accident occurred

[–]kageurufu 31 points32 points ago

Actually, it was a ~70ish gentleman who had a heart attack at the wheel, this has been circulating for several years now, he was a member of CorvetteForums.com, and a family member posted the story and picture iirc. I remember reading this when it happened

[–]Crichton252 2 points3 points ago

Thank you for pointing that out.

[–]ktm_rider[S] 3 points4 points ago

Thank you. I was wondering about the validity of the story.

[–]dekkerbasser 10 points11 points ago

Wait, Corvette's do not have a backseat.

They are only 2 seats.

O.o

[–]BerryGuns 9 points10 points ago

That's because that story is fake.

[–]ktm_rider[S] 1 point2 points ago

Trunk/back seat close enough. He was DOA either way

[–]SeanGarrity 8 points9 points ago

Apparently a good scare tactic for everyone.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

My dad sent me the picture and told me the driver was speeding, txting, and eating something all at the same time.

[–]SeanGarrity 0 points1 point ago

The trifecta. That's his way of saying "You'd better fucking pay attention while you're driving or I'll kill you myself!"

[–]santis00 4 points5 points ago

that takes a whole new meaning to head in the backseat.

[–]Aperantos 6 points7 points ago

Whole new meaning to being beside oneself.

[–]digital_parts_guy 5 points6 points ago

Whole new meaning to backseat driver.

[–]GoodGuyAnusDestroyer 7 points8 points ago

Did he die?

[–]mistermojorisin 18 points19 points ago

Because he was wearing his seatbelt they could reattach the head.

[–]SadTruth_HappyLies 6 points7 points ago

...but instead, it's now a Jackson Pollock, displayed on the trailer's rear door.

[–]bahhumbugger 2 points3 points ago

Lucky motherfucker.

[–]nyeholt 1 point2 points ago

Nah, you can see that the airbag went off so that would have saved him.

[–]gindlesberger08 1 point2 points ago

corvettes dont have backseats

[–]kageurufu 1 point2 points ago

its make sexy times a little more difficult, but still doable ;)

[–]Vodiodoh 0 points1 point ago

What the fuck? When and where did this happen? I saw this picture posted on a wall at my job 2 weeks ago. It must have happened in New Jersey, right?

[–]andrewsmith1986 5 points6 points ago

Pay attention while driving

[–]ElCheffe 0 points1 point ago

Ill try and remember that next time I'm having a heart attack.

[–]650619 1 point2 points ago

Back seat driver?

[–]Famclik 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure that's brain under the second handle of the trailer.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

yeah he left some of his dome on the back of that trailer

[–]gunpowdermouth 0 points1 point ago

Smells like a repost AGAIN.

[–]FluffyFuz 0 points1 point ago

Slightly used...

[–]pandawank 0 points1 point ago

This picture was used at my law school during mock trial.

[–]MrDorkESQ 0 points1 point ago

Found this info the last time this was posted:

Friday, July 29, 2005 FRANKLIN LAKES - A Westchester County man died Thursday afternoon in a crash on Route 287.

Joseph Gianelli, 58 of Irvington, N.Y., was pronounced dead at the scene after his Chevrolet Corvette struck the rear of a tractor-trailer at about 1 p.m., near milepost 65, state police said.

The truck, operated by Clouis Oquinn Jr., 52, of Virginia, was parked on a northbound shoulder when the Corvette plowed into it. Oquinn was not injured, officials said.

Thank you for Karma Decay. I will now check my posts here!

[–]Punksworth 0 points1 point ago

Honestly the lights would probably be worth a good sum

[–]ITCHYTICK 0 points1 point ago

...How

[–]BabToTheBone 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that's a blood splatter on the door of the truck, near the handle...

[–]ThatBeardedCarGuy 0 points1 point ago

This is a repost from like yesterday and probably every other day this year. ಠ_ಠ

[–]tha_dood 0 points1 point ago

Is he dead?

[–]theartfulcodger 0 points1 point ago

... also other estate items too numerous to mention.

[–]Soviet_Waffle 0 points1 point ago

This kills the driver.

[–]NgtvNrg 0 points1 point ago

Not funny, the wiring harness was damaged

[–]JTyler82 0 points1 point ago

Why does this keep making head lines. :P

[–]NoFearofDownVote 0 points1 point ago

I hope he didnt have any passengers :(

[–]ThisIsntNormal 0 points1 point ago

Should have worn a seat-belt ;/

[–]daerokos 0 points1 point ago

look at the blood on the back gate of the truck

[–]yismeicha 1 point2 points ago

Did he died?

[–]walterqxy 1 point2 points ago

nsfw: gore/death

[–]headdownassup -1 points0 points ago

is he okay.....

[–]walterqxy 2 points3 points ago

zoom in where the driver would be sitting and then look at the back of the trailer where his head would have hit.

[–]headdownassup 0 points1 point ago

i was just joking

[–]btnels 0 points1 point ago

Corvettes don't have back seats.

[–]knobbysideup 2 points3 points ago

This one does.
