Amazing/Shocking SVX crash... (TODAY, Saturday)
So, I get this email from my cousin... All of this happened around noon, TODAY in Suffield, CT.

The kid in the SVX and the passenger in the gray car and to be air lifted to the hospital.

The below text was in the forwarded email...

Attached are a couple of photos from Gibby and Cathy's front yard. Some of you have heard that Gibby was out mowing his yard and a couple of cars collided in his front yard. All I gotta say is there are definitely guardian angels and I think Gibby had about half a dozen around him.

Gibby has some debris that came his way, but he is doing OK. Both Gibby and Cathy are shook up a bit, but their family is OK.
Just another reason NOT to street race. It's never just your own life at risk. In this case, members of MY family were at risk, and they weren't even in a car!!!

Two pictures included in the post, and a few more in the attached PDFs...

Why some people should not even be allowed to drive...let alone drive an SVX.

How did he survive that? The svx is completly pushed towards the center of the car, folded and crushed the roof in. Everyone was definatly lucky that day for sure.

S***. That's unreal. That kid is damn lucky to be alive, no matter what car he was driving.

I hope the passenger in the Gallant makes it through okay. Don't really give a damn about the kid.

I must have took some feat of physics to end up against the poll like that.

What happened to the (other) moron he was racing with?
