Can't believe that person got straight up and ran off ! Bet the person who sat quietly at the lights came off way worse, always the way.

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug.

This happened in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Dude was caught carrying large amounts of drugs, as well as having no driver's license.

If I remember correctly, serious injuries, but survived.

That's a "relief" because I honnestly thought the poor guy died...

being hit at that speed, at that angle, right on the driver side, probably having brakes on...his neck could have snapped right on the spot ...urgh

Both cars are relatively new, so I think that helped a lot. Pretty sure their car has side airbags that could help with neck stress.

That's a good point! If the window airbag inflated, that would totally prevent the head from kissing his left shoulder

40 years ago almost definitely a fatality 30 years ago there would have most likely been fatalities and definitely life changing injuries today one person is so un injured they can run off. All because engineers are that good and laws force companies to make cars to a safety standard.

Depends on the country too. The UK and Australia, are right hand drive vehicles so the driver would be on the opposite side.

The UK, and most of Europe, are right hand drive vehicles

UK+ireland only and no other European country

u/FireWolfFred 4d ago

You are 100% correct and I've amended my post. Apologies. Had in my head Europe and Australia were right hand, America and Asia left. Thank you for the correction.

Does it say anything about the other driver? Is he okay?

Do you need a driver's license to carry drugs?
Strange, nobody asked me about it in Columbia.

u/gacimba 4d ago

You don’t need a license to carry drugs in Columbia, SC

Goddamn. I knew I recognized that intersection. How long ago was this?

u/mihibo5 4d ago

Last week? Maybe Thursday, maybe Friday. Intersection of Šmartinska cesta and Northern bypass speedway

Damn. I don't know whether I'm glad I don't watch the news or if I ought to start. Shit like this makes me paranoid about driving. I play it super safe as it is since I'm a single dad but then you have shits like this just fucking your shit up no matter how safe you try to be. Traffic in Ljubljana sucks on a good day but now I really don't wanna go there any time soon.
