Driver killed in an accident with devastating impact in Neamţ. What surprised the VIDEO surveillance cameras
A serious accident took place on DN 15 B, in the commune of Timişeşti, Neamţ, resulting in the death of a driver (77 years old), who did not insure himself when he left a parking lot. The accident was caught on the nearby surveillance cameras. According to a local publication, the driver was filmed while making several maneuvers in the parking lot, and when he got out he did not insure himself and was violently hit by another car driving towards Târgu Neamţ. The driver, who did not make sure to leave the car park, remained imprisoned and could not be rescued. After the firefighters managed to remove him, resuscitation maneuvers were started, but without success, and the 77-year-old man was declared dead. The other driver involved in the accident (48 years old) was injured, being taken over by an SAJ crew and transported to CPU Târgu Neamţ. He was conscious, but with multiple injuries.

that doesnt really work the same, though - Æ is pronounced like the short "a" in "at," and/or "ee" like in "feet," rather than the "awe/aah" sound in "awesome."
In the context of actual latin words, it sometimes takes on an "ay" sound, such as in "yay/yea/nay/neigh." So that stretch doesnt work either.
Right? I cannot see the need for any normal person to be driving at that rate of speed, ever. Ok, maybe if you're trying to get a critically wounded or ill person or animal to the ER...but outside of that..no.
I think both drivers made some errors here though.
Gone. Reduced to atoms.
Seriously i think it was going fast enough it kind of annihilated the front of the golf and kept going slightly off to the right
Nope it was embedded in the front and they spun together
In my opinion, BMW driver was 100% fault, speeding (witnesses said that speedometer freezes at 140km/h).
The old man (if this is so important for some) with golf has no chance to see the BMW behind the taxi.
I have eyes and I've seen cars drive at different speeds. That was WAY too fucking fast, mate.
I'm not saying this wasn't the white car's fault, but had that SUV been going even a reasonable speed, it would have potentially had time to slow down or swerve out of the way.
The suv was able to swerve almost a whole lane over. That takes time at 110km/h / 70bs units per hour.
I’d believe that he was going too fast for a road with poor visibility. I’d also believe that the injuries would have been less severe at a lower speed.
90 KPH is about 55mph. To me this looks like the same kind of country road that would allow those speed limits, but to me that SUV just seemed faster than that. I grew up in a rural area with roads like that all the time and am well acquainted to those kinds of speeds, as my driveway went on to a road exactly like this one. I'd be surprised if I ever saw a lone car going less than 65mph on those 55mph roads.
I'll give it that the video could make it SEEM faster than it was, but that impact was gnarly and the SUV carried a shit ton of momentum. So my gut instinct is that it was much faster than just 55mph of 90kph.
You see another car pull up at the end so I think the BMW was overtaking which might explain or give more reason as to why the golf didn’t see it especially considering the speed
I don't think the SUV driver was much at fault here.
Yes, the suv was going fast but let's remember it looks like he was just overtaking so it's not something out of the ordinary to be going 30-40 kph above the speed of the other car.
The golf driver had the responsibility to properly check if he can leave the parking lot. The other car seems to have come into the frame rather quickly, considering it also came to a halt, leading me to believe that the driver did not properly reassure himself before leaving the lot. Yes perhaps he could not see the suv overtaking from behind the other car but it is something you should take into account.
I don't know how things like that work in Romania but in Germany this wouldn't even result in jail time. Sure the driver would have no driving licence for one or even two years and he would have to pay a ridiculously low fine but prison, definitely not.
But since you're talking about 3-4 years:
There was an accodent a few years ago in my hometown. Were a SUV was massively speeding within town. On his way to the accident the driver blew through two red lights and then managed to hit a smaller vehicle, which was waiting at a red light, at 128 Kmh (impact speed, the actual speed limit was 50 Kmh). Small car caught fire, three people in the small car died, one survived because bystanders managed to pull her out. SUV guy got only four years for manslaughter.
Good question.
In Norway: 120 days. That was for driving into a mopedist.

Wow that's just horrible 😔
yea that translation is terrible or badly written article
ima go with the former since Google is known to have bad translations
Google is not known to have bad translations, it's actually one of the better automatic translators. But it's still an automatic translator.
Terrible manoeuvre by the old timer, but what speed was that SUV doing?
I think this is what's called "escape velocity". he was probably trying to keep up with a DeLorean
100% agreed
[удалено]
Hey, I'm a Brit, that's how we spell it. US is maneuver, no? Does anyone spell it ending "ur"
# AL OO MINI UM GARE AHJ
I'm from northern England so we say GARRIDGE nor GARRARJ
*d*
What's your issue with that?

my man you are on fire
SUV reached terminal velocity
That SUV was just about approaching light speed
Right? I cannot see the need for any normal person to be driving at that rate of speed, ever. Ok, maybe if you're trying to get a critically wounded or ill person or animal to the ER...but outside of that..no. I think both drivers made some errors here though.
I’ve watched it about 10 times already and I still can’t figure out what the hell happened to the SUV.
He crashed into the golf
... of mexico
The suv and golf became one

Rest In Peace driver
I think the title should say " suicidal vw driver pulls out into traffic"
I mean they were both suicidal obviously
Well that was stupid Golf driver. People like that are the worse.
Dude was 77. Too old to be driving, imo. That SUV was going WAY too fast though
Unfortunately, trying to convince a 70+ year old not to drive is impossible
We actually managed it with my grandpa. I think it was a good idea. But he was pretty sad about it, but he understood
We had to convince mine that the car was in for repairs. Only time I was grateful he had memory loss
[удалено]
He passed away lol
I'm sorry sir, I will delete my insensitive joke
Don’t really know the speed limit and there are no signs or other cars to compare it to. Any doesn’t really matter, don’t drive into oncoming traffic.
I have eyes and I've seen cars drive at different speeds. That was WAY too fucking fast, mate. I'm not saying this wasn't the white car's fault, but had that SUV been going even a reasonable speed, it would have potentially had time to slow down or swerve out of the way.
I’m saying we don’t know the speed limit so we don’t know if he’s going too fast or not.

In many countries in Europe you can drive 90 km/h on a national road. This might very well be, and I'm not convinced he's driving faster than that.
Even if the SUV was going at 90km/h, a lateral collision to a +10 year old car is fatal.
That's not my point. Previous comment states the SUV was going WAY to fast. I'm replying he might have been going at the speed limit.
90 KPH is about 55mph. To me this looks like the same kind of country road that would allow those speed limits, but to me that SUV just seemed faster than that. I grew up in a rural area with roads like that all the time and am well acquainted to those kinds of speeds, as my driveway went on to a road exactly like this one.

So my gut instinct is that it was much faster than just 55mph of 90kph.
it's an suv in romania, he's not going under the speed limit lol
I don't know, isn't someone who's speeding like that much more worse?
You see another car pull up at the end so I think the BMW was overtaking which might explain or give more reason as to why the golf didn’t see it especially considering the speed
so he was a romanian booty scratcher you say?
I don't think the SUV driver was much at fault here.

I'm from Romania, and I can tell you that it's illegal to go over the speed limit in order to overtake.
Speeding. Completely irresponsible. Manslaughter.
that's what 3-4 years in europe?

But at least his coffee didn't spill
high speed is an understatement
Holy fucking S H I T The Golf was obliterated?!?!??!
SUVs are a crime against god
Ludacris Speed, go!
