germany, 6/3/2019.

a 68 year old man driving his audi RS6 in the A81 motorway near Mundelsheim in Baden-Württemberg, towards Stuttgart was driving at over 315 km/h of speed, when he suddenly became the protagonist of an atrocious car accident.

according to the reconstruction of events, a truck in front of the audi switched to the middle lane. the truck's rear lights weren't working when the crash occured, so the person driving the audi didn't see the truck and noticed it too late so he didn't have time to brake. his car ramped off the semi truck and he got catapulted into the air, before furiously slamming into a bridge pier and shattering.

the audi literally warped around the steel beam in a way that the car was split in two parts. some of the car's pieces were found even 50 meters far from the crash. the driver was thrown from the cockpit of his car to the road, and the emergency services could only determine his death: while some pics actually show his condition was worse. in fact, the man got literally decapitated by the iron sheets, his head was found a few centimeters from the body and some of his body parts were found separately, such as his hand, arm, and even clothing items such as one of his shoes - retrieved right next to the crashed car.

in order to recover the crashed vehicle, the fire brigade had to use hydraulic rescue shears.

the man was allegedly drunk while driving , but even if he was drunk, this happened in germany, where driving at extreme speed is allowed in highways.

after the accident, the A81 had to be completely closed for 5 hours and it took the rescues approximately 45 minutes to retrieve all of the car's debris and the victim's remains.

upclose shots of the car crash. if you squint, you can notice fabric, and also the airbag that exploded during the crash - obviously in vain.

deutsch polizei on the scene - they happen to be observing the car that crashed

the only picture of the man's head / body parts i was actually able to retrieve. it's very low quality - if i find something better i will update this post

closeup of a policeman smiling in one of the pictures before. probably was living his best life, unlike that driver

this is everything i was able to find about this car accident. if i find something else, i will be quick to update this post! happy death-watching, everyone..

Several bikes were riding at insane speed on the Bursa-Istanbul road. The camera recorded the speed up to 298km/h before the crashing happen.

This accident happened after one of the biker collided with another slower biker which then threw him up in the air.

The Victim: Frederik Jansen van Vuuren

1958 -1977

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/100720976/frederik-janse_van_vuuren

Welsh racing driver Tom Pryce died on the tracks during the South African Grand Prix in Kyalami on 5 March 1977. The horrific accident left two people dead; a marshal Frederick Jansen Van Vuuren, who was running across the tracks to help another driver whose car had caught fire and Pryce himself. The marshal’s body was torn in half when it was hit by Pryce’s car and Pryce was hit in the head by the fire extinguisher that the marshal had been carrying. Pryce was partially decapitated by his helmet strap and died instantly. Pryce is the only Welsh driver to have won a formula one race and the only Welsh to lead a Formula one World Championship Grand Prix. A statue of him has been erected in his hometown of Ruthin in his remembrance.

Usually plane crashes end up in a big mess so it‘s hard to recover victims

Photos of plane crash victims

The most common reason for plane crashes is usually human error. This means pilots or other ppl in contact with the plane might make mistakes, or the maintenance crew might miss something. Even with all the high-tech systems and training, people can still mess up. Even if planes nowadays are almost self capable of flying, we need people controlling and looking over them.

Planes are also a very popular victim of terror attacks.

The most famous one being 9/11

also belonging to the 9/11 attacks was

>Crash at 00:26

He took three lives, and he gets to walk away unscathed," Nicole Taylor, Athena Taylor's mother, said. "I hope this lays on his shoulders every single day of his miserable life."

Rafiki's LinkedIn profile shows that he worked as a truck driver for BP Ventures in Grand Rapids,MI and Kalon

Accident Synopsis

On March 23 around 2:38 p.m., police said they responded to a crash at State Route 163 eastbound, west of mile marker 12. This is in the Laughlin area. It involved a semi-tractor and two motorcycles. One of the motorcycles had two occupants.

According to police, the motorcycles were heading eastbound on the highway when a 2020 Freightliner semi-truck traveling westbound crossed the median into their path. The driver was identified as Claude Rafiki from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Rafiki was driving in the No. 1 travel lane – the one closest to the centerline – and not in the No. 2 lane as required for semis, a Nevada State Police Highway Patrol trooper told a grand jury. The arrest report said an off-duty Clark County Fire Department captain witnessed the crash.

He said he had been driving behind Rafiki, 29, when he saw the truck veer onto wrong-way lanes, the report said.

The crash killed Owen Hart, 22; Athena Taylor, 21; and Jeremy Gebo, 44; all of St. George, Utah. The coroner confirmed they died from blunt force trauma.

Owen Hart's family told 8 News Now that he had just turned 22 and was himself beginning a career as a trucker. He and his family were celebrating his birthday with a motorcycle ride, they said.

The ride involved several other motorcyclists, including Hart's parents, who were celebrating his 22nd birthday. His parents witnessed their son's death.

"I feel guilty for leaving my son on the side of the road of the scene of the crime while it was being investigated — it all feels so wrong and unnatural," Melissa Hart, Owen's mother, said.

The victims died at the scene.

In court Wednesday, Meng said Rafiki's dashcam recorded him weaving for 10 minutes. He added prosecutors believe he fabricated logbooks to make it look like two drivers were switching off shifts.

Troopers said Rafiki, 29, had bloodshot eyes and an "unsteady gait" after the afternoon crash March 23. Troopers said Rafiki had an "unsatisfactory performance" in his field-sobriety screening, the report said. They drew blood as Rafiki agreed to submit to a drug test.

A trooper who was described as a drug recognition expert wrote in the arrest report that Rafiki was suspected of being "under the influence of dissociative anesthetic and central nervous system stimulants and is unable to safely operate a motor vehicle safely."

Rafiki told police the "wind" caused him to go the wrong way, documents said. He said he was not impaired and took medicine for seizures, documents said. A trooper testified "there was definitely wind" at the time he arrived at the crash scene.

A wind advisory was issued on the day of the accident. Weather forecasts warned that gusts could reach 55 miles per hour, according to KLAS. Nevada law stipulates a person convicted of reckless driving resulting in death could serve a prison sentence between one to six years per count. The felony is probationable. Rafiki had a valid Michigan commercial driver's license, but his two-year medical certification was set to expire on March 24 - the day after the crash, according to documents obtained by 8 News Now. Michigan drivers are required to submit an updated medical clearance before it expires, something Rafiki never did. His CDL hasn't been valid since March 24.

As part of Rafiki's plea deal, he would serve the sentence concurrently, meaning it is unlikely Hardy would sentence him to more than 10 years of total time if he chooses prison time over probation.

Rafiki, an African immigrant who became a U.S. citizen in 2021, originally faced DUI charges, which prosecutors later dropped as test results did not show alcohol or drugs in his system.

Though the incident happened in Laughlin, the case was heard in Moapa Valley Justice Court and Rafiki remained jailed in Las Vegas, records said.

Claude Rafiki, 29, of Michigan, pleaded guilty to three counts of reckless driving resulting in death. (NSP)

Rafiki's initial court appearance was delayed several days as the courts were working to find Rafiki a translator, records indicated. Rafiki speaks Kinyarwanda, a Central African language.

Rafiki had a valid commercial driver's license out of Michigan at the time of the crash, but his two-year medical certification was due to expire March 24 — the day after the crash, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained. Drivers in Michigan are required to submit an updated medical clearance before the expiration date, officials with the Michigan Secretary of State's office confirmed. Because he did not submit updated medical certificate information, Rafiki's license was downgraded and his CDL has not been valid as of March 24.

Rafiki's certificate did not include any medication restrictions, but prosecutors said Rafiki took medication for epilepsy.

To this day, the exact cause of the crash is unknown. State police never released any information about why they believed Rafiki was impaired other than what was in the documents.

According to a GoFundMe* page, Hart and Taylor had gotten engaged in December.

"They were not just 'soon to be' partners in life, but also in their love for adventure, the outdoors, and the thrill of the open road and partners in spirit," the fundraiser states. "This was to be just the beginning of their love story, filled with dreams of a bright future. Owen and Athena were more than soulmates; they were best friends."

A Facebook post by Shane Carter said Gebo was his best friend, and Hart and Taylor were coworkers and friends.

"Life will not be the same without you guys. You were all loved so much! We will all ride together again someday," the post says.

Victim Obituaries

Owen Merrill Hart

Born March 21,2002 Glendora, CA

Died March 23,2024 Laughlin, NV

Owen, loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, was killed in a tragic accident while on a motorcycle trip with his fiance, Athena and parents, Brad and Melissa Hart of St. George, UT.

He will be missed immensely by his family and friends. His death has left a gigantic hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. His kind-hearted, fun, adventurous spirit drew people to him and he was adored by younger family members who couldn't get enough of his silly, playful side. Always the jokester, his contagious smile and easy-going nature brought joy to everyone around him.

Born in California, he and his older sister, Sara, were practically inseparable, and their special bond continued into adulthood. He was a mischievous child, but his exuberance and laughter were usually enough to get him out of serious trouble. The family moved to St. George where there were numerous occasions to get out and enjoy each other's company whether camping and fishing, riding ATV's and dirt bikes or just hanging out watching a movie or playing games. Family time was important and with large families on both of his parent's sides, everyone has a special memory of Owen- whether at the beach, desert, lake or mountains.

He attended Pine View HS where he wasn't the most motivated student, but enjoyed playing football and hanging with his friends. When he did put his attention to something, he gave it his all and wasn't afraid of a challenge. After a lot of karate classes, he obtained a second-degree black belt. Also a prolific online gamer, his generous attitude brought him more friends in the virtual world, as well. He graduated from Millcreek HS and it was there he met his future girlfriend, partner and fiance, Athena Taylor. After dating for 4 years, Owen proposed last Christmas and they were in the process of planning their wedding and future together.

He really hit his stride a couple of years ago; growing into a more mature, responsible young adult. His Dad taught him to drive trucks and he applied himself, worked hard and received his CDL in 2022. He was extremely proud when he got a job working with Brad at Whitaker Construction. They made a great team.

His love of riding started with BMX bikes, progressed to ATV's and dirt bikes and ultimately led to his first Harley Davidson. The whole family participated in weekend rides and traveled with a great group of friends and co-workers. They visited many beautiful parts of the west and even attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Owen was preceded in death by grandfathers, Donald Hart and Dave McLachlan.

Survived by his parents, sister, Grandparents Barbara (Gary) Redmond, Dottie Mclachlan, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins who already miss him.

Athena Faye Taylor

Athena, Mom and I named you knowing it would represent strength and wisdom. We had no idea how much of that you would embody in your life and in your very soul. Your strength, your light, and your kindness was felt by so many.

Athena, our beautiful daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend was taken from us in a tragic accident while doing what she loved, riding on the back of her fiance's motorcycle with all her family and friends. Unfortunately, Owen Hart, her fiance, was also lost to us while protecting our Athena.

Athena will be missed by all as her light, her goodness, and her laughter touched so many. Her laughter was unique and often silly, but it was contagious. She was fearless in her friendships and in her love for her fiance, Owen. Their love was one born of fairy tales, of the love that so many would be lucky to have, to love your best friend.

Athena loved all animals but she loved cats most of all. A few years ago she found her cat, "Mr. Kitty" and the two were inseparable. When Athena and Owen found Mr. Dan, Mr. Kitty's three legged little brother, their family was starting to build.

Athena had a love of soccer and before her passing she was finally able to join a soccer team, the Strikers. Though they weren't the best, she was having so much fun with her friends.

Athena was a hard worker, and dedicated to doing a good job. She started working for a cleaning company, Dirt Devils where she grew into a strong and independent woman. She excelled at it, often telling us better ways to clean. And yes Kiddo, we will clean that shower door. She moved on to a new job as an executive assistant at St. George Truss Co. She only was able to work for a little while but she was really excited and enjoyed the change and was loved by everyone there.

She loved her rides with Owen. The awesome feeling of being on a bike was something she shared with her grandfather Gary Taylor. Her love began from riding on the back of her grandpa, Ray Beal's, 4 wheeler when she was a little girl. Athena glowed every time she put on her leathers and clung on to Owen and he kept her safe.

Athena was the best of her mom and dad. She was like them in every way. You can see them both in her smile, in her laughter, and in her love. Though, I'm still sorry I gave you my feet.

Athena was preceded in death by her grandfather , Ray Beal, and her doggies, Bella ( Dooter ) and Daisy. She is survived by her mother, Nicole Beal Taylor (Mike Showell), her father, Jason Eugene Taylor (Jamie Larsen), her brothers McKinnley and Kyler Taylor, her grandmother Verlynn Beal and her grandparents Gary and Candy Taylor, as well as numerous cousins and friends. Last but not least, Mr Kitty and Mr. Dan the cat.

Jeremy George Gebo

Jeremy George Gebo, 44, was tragically taken from us on March 23, 2024, in Laughlin, Nevada, while riding his motorcycle alongside 11 others.

Gebo was born on October 17, 1979, in New Hartford, New York. As a child, he relocated to many states and countries until he finally found "home" in Utah, where he raised his two girls. He never passed up a breakfast date, long phone calls, or a chance to express just how proud he was of the women they had become. He made sure everyone knew how much he adored them.

He began working for Whitaker Construction in January 2004, in which he excelled in all that he did, setting the bar high for fellow colleagues. He was a natural born leader. Even in the midst of chaos, he maintained a calming presence that brought peace to others. Gebo was promoted to Superintendent over Southern Utah in January 2021. There he oversaw the establishment of the Saint George natural gas division.

Gebo was a man of many talents. While he took great pride in his viking tattoos, 2023 Street Glide, sourdough starters, and crocheting, the thing he enjoyed most was cooking for and spending quality time with his loved ones. Each of his meals were made with love and cooked to perfection.

Gebo always emphasized that blood didn't define family. Though he is survived by many, we'd like to acknowledge his children, Josh Briggs, Natia Gebo, Kembrey Gebo, Rocky Hatch, and Braelee Hatch; god-son, Tuff Hatch; grandson Rowdy Hatch; and niece Lilly Mendez. Preceded in death by his son, Gavin George Gebo.

Final Outcome for C-24-382446-1 | State of Nevada vs Claude Rafiki

>LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A truck driver who fabricated his logbooks, drove on the wrong side of the road, and then collided with three people, killing them, will serve the maximum penalty, a judge ordered Wednesday.

>Claude Rafiki cries in court as he apologizes to the families of the three people he killed when he collided with them driving a truck on the wrong side of the road. (KLAS) Rafiki apologized to the families in court and expressed his hope that they would one day forgive him.

>His medical certification didn't include any health restrictions that would preclude him from driving, but prosecutors revealed that Rafiki took medication for epilepsy.

>A Nevada State Police Highway Patrol trooper also pointed out that Rafiki was driving in the No. 1 travel lane - the one closest to the center line - and not in the No. 2 lane as mandated for semi-trucks.Meng said Rafiki's dashcam recorded him weaving on the road for 10 minutes before the brutal collision.

>Even more damning, Meng added that he believes Rafiki doctored his logbooks to make it appear as though he was switching off with another when he was the only one driving.

>'Even though he's a hardworking man and he's trying to do this, it's at the expense of everyone else's safety,' Meng said.

>The judge has ordered Rafiki to pay a $6,000 fine, though that's likely not the end of his financial penalty, as the families may file civil lawsuits against him.

>'I pray for you — for forgiveness,' Rafiki said.

>In June, Claude Rafiki, 29, of Michigan, pleaded guilty to three counts of reckless driving resulting in death. The triple-fatal crash happened on March 23 on State Route 163 near Laughlin. Prosecutors described the truck as a "nuclear bomb on the road," adding it was on the wrong side of the road for nearly 30 seconds. Court records indicate that 29-year-old Claude Rafiki will serve about 4-10 years in prison.

Quoted from California Department of Motor Vehicles; "Regardless of what causes a lapse of consciousness (LOC) disorder, it can affect one's ability to operate a vehicle or vessel. If you lose consciousness for a short period of time, you can also lose control of your vehicle, which can result in serious accidents or death.

Some medical conditions can cause LOC disorders. These disorders cause you to lose consciousness or awareness for a period of time. Epilepsy is the most common LOC disorder, and it can occur at any age. Seizures can occur outside of epilepsy, caused by anything that impairs normal brain function, such as trauma, tumors, infections, genetics, stroke, injury, metabolic imbalances (such as diabetic comas), and more. Sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, can also cause a loss of awareness or consciousness."

The ending took me out lol

A Russian woman leaned out of the window of a moving car and hit the road sign to death. The 35-year-old native of the Chelyabinsk region died as a result of an accident on the road in the Dominican Republic. As it turned out, she caught her head behind the road sign. For some time the girl stayed in the hospital, but could not save her.

the two videos have been merged into one by me.

In Turkey, a fatal motorcycle accident that occurred at 200+km/h left a biker on the road decapitated and dismembered.

There are two videos of the incident. A video captures the aftermath of the crash, and shows severed legs, severed head and torso of the victim. Secondly, a video was filmed on a sports camera mounted on the handlebars. It shows the speed at which the group of bikers was traveling, and the high speed crash of one them, which also knocked down the cammer. The video is worth for the aggressive footage of the bike sliding down the road.
