Funeral for our 99 Maxima SE.

With some explaining, some are self-explanatory.



4508 - see how little damage is done to the finish.
They say it was a "bounce" not a "roll", meaning the
car landed hard when it wasn't airborne.



4510 - the back wheel is all skeewampus, because the
entire back suspension broke and the axle is held on
by springs only. Notice the carseat somehow got
smacked over.



4511 - from the back. Trunk lid was about 15 feet from
the vehicle. Contents were everywhere, tow truck guy
was nice enough to pick them up. Our air compressor
did not survive.





4517 - There you have a brand new 40,000 mile tire
with less than 1 thousand miles on it. And a nice, new
disc brake with very few miles, snapped completely in
half.


4520 - back drivers wheel. Nice new tires!


4521 - the opening Mac crawled out of.



4531 - Those are tire marks. Yes, on the outside of
the wheel well. The back suspension was totally gone
and the wheel was out and up on the side of the car.
When they tipped the car back down, the wheel went
back into place since the springs are still attached.


Ready for the irony? 45 days ago we had two cars. Sold the Infiniti on Feb. 15. Now, we have 0 cars.

Both front airbags deployed. The driver's side airbag
deployed. Mac was seatbelted. The car rolled from 6-12
times according to witnesses. The tow driver was
impressed at how well the structure of the car held
up, considering the "bouncing" roll.

Mac has a welt on his forehead, we think he got hit
with a metal CD case kept in the car. He has a
concussion but is otherwise going to be fine, albeit a
little sore.

I'm glad to hear Mac's okay.

There is a wad of dirt wedged into the space for the nuts on the rim. What happened?

Glad no one was hurt. Geez, that looks crazy.

How did it flip/roll? What caused the accident?

Fast story: driving sleepy, woke up in median, overcorrected, rolled 6-12 times.
Only my husband was in the car.

Screw the new tyres, your husband is alive and that's the only important thing after an accident of this magnitude.

On a serious note, that's bad. I hope you're dealing with your loss well.

Boingo.. nice to see you around here again.

Too bad it had to be under these circumstances, but glad to see everyone is okay. What happened to the Infiniti? What was the reason for selling it.
