WOW!

All those videos are pretty frightening.

Maybe everyone SHOULD be limited to 25mph!!!

There was an accident right outside my house last year Thanksgiving when I was shoveling the snow off my driveway.

It just sounded like a soda can being crushed. The one car ended up about 15 feet from where I was standing and stopped just before hitting a telephone pole. I think the airbag really helped the driver. Front end of the car wasn't messed up to bad and the driver was ok.

In the other car, there was a HUGE crumple in the side - she got T-boned. I believe that car was a Tiburon. The car slid sideways as she hit a patch of ice going through the intersection. She should have been going slower.
As it was, her face got all cut up by window glass. Could have been a lot worse though.

Traffic through there usually goes 45 MPH northbound and 50ish southbound.
