I received this as an email. It's a graphic example of what happens. How would you like to have been in the passenger seat? This accident occurred north of Deer Lodge, Montana on I-90. The driver was appox 22 year old guy heading east to College. He had left central Washington early in the morning. He fell asleep at the wheel and drifted off the shoulder hitting the end of the section of guard rail. The guard rail came through the right headlight, engine compartment, firewall, glove box, passenger seat, rear seat and exited out the drivers side rear window. That is 120 Feet of guard rail that threaded through the suburban. No passengers and the driver was not injured. I am sharing this as a reminder to all about NOT driving when you shouldnt be behind the wheel (drinking, texting, distracted or just plain tired).

Blimey, that sure sent shivvers up the old spine!! Getting too old for that early morning travelling these days.

That looks like he has missed the "ripple" strip as well . Lucky boy , I wonder if he went & bought some fresh "Grundies" . Richo

A very similiar thing happened a couple of kls from home a few yrs back, wrong side of road, the rail penatrated the same way to the rear seat, she never had a chance.

My brother was an Ambulanceman in Mackay many years ago about 1957 or 58 and he was called to an accident on a river bridge and a car went into the wooden railing the top rail was 4x4 hardwood and it went right through the drivers chest and out the back of the car.
