Thanks for posting this. It's so rare to hear what happened from someone that was directly involved in the incident. He could have given us a little info on the other driver though.

Man that is one serious crash. It’s very easy to Monday morning QB this but given no e-brake, could throwing the transmission in P be possible? Engine/transmission damage and all but it would have avoided injuries/property damage. I have no experience with older muscle cars or the specific transmission used here so if someone can shed light on that?

I believe he did throw it into park at about the 8 second point of the video. In an automatic transmission there is a ring with teeth on the output shaft of the transmission. When the transmission is shifted into park a lever called the parking pawl is lowered against the ring. That pawl was never designed to bring a car to a stop, only to hold it once it has stopped moving. I suspect the pawl broke almost immediately. If you listen you can hear a clicking which I believe is the parking pawl skipping across the ring gear.

I hope the occupant(s) in that van have been compensated for negligence. Bottom line is that the guy put speed/power over safety.

Rides brakes because car wants to race, uncontrolled throttle/acceleration.
Brakes overheat and fail.
Can't figure out how to slap forward to neutral.


I'll LOL at that kind of stupid. Money doesn't buy brains.
Sad he took an innocent with him.


Car said, F, this, guy. I'm out.

Since we were poor college students way back when, we often shared rides to school. One of my buddies had a ratty '35 Chevy with a Chevy 265 V-8. As we were cruising down the highway, I noticed what appeared to be a marble bag draped over the gear shift knob. I asked him what it was and he said it was an Elk scrotum.

this is why I think electronic-parking-brake are shit, and should be illegal. (not speaking about the video, this old car surely dont have e-brake)

Car maker always put full of stupid safety feature, but removed the manual hand brake.

All my cars, I had issue with the brake : rust, metal part on the road, off road, etc.
All the time I manage to stop and move my car away from the road with my manual hand brake.

good luck with those stupid button

the guy knew the brakes were garbage but hadnt done anything to fix/upgrade them. the brakes were also already overheating/smoking earlier in the ride but they decided to just keep going. Its 100% on the driver.

I only watched the video so wasn't privy to that information.
