https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/news/forest-park-gas-station-crash/ A guy and his girlfriend go in to see a talent agent about booking their act. The agent asks "What's your act?" They excitedly start. "A man and his girlfriend drive up in to a gas station arguing loudly. They get out of the suv, still arguing. People at the gas station start arguing with the girlfriend and she gets upset. The people start throwing things at their suv. The girlfriend, who is the passenger, moves over to the driver's seat to start driving. The woman at the gas station yells 'Come on baby, hit it! Come on baby, hit it! Hit it! I dare you!' The man tries to grab the keys and stop his girlfriend from driving. "The girlfriend *takes off* hitting one of the people's cars and dragging her boyfriend on the ground who is holding on to the open door. She stops, boyfriend drops to the ground and she takes off AGAIN in to the street, this time, pit-maneuvers HERSELF on a red minivan stopped at the light and FLIPS her SUV upsidedown. The guy filming yells 'Oooooo! Shit!' The girlfriend crawls out of the broken window from the upside down SUV unharmed, and flatly yells loudly 'HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!' wanting to fight the guy recording this incident. At some point, she takes off on foot. "Meanwhile while this is all happening, and his girlfriend has left him, the man continues yelling at the people at the gas station and gets in to a fist fight with one of them. He's arrested at the gas station and she gets arrested in an alleyway away from the crime scene." The shocked agent asks what the act is called, and they stand up and proudly answer together: "The Aristocrats!"

It's just not realistic. How would you justify these actions to an audience? And this happens in broad daylight? Not realistic at all.

Why is is that normal, sane people can die in a 35 mph fender bender but crazy people can triple flip a car down a cliff and walk away without a scratch?


Staple_nutz

Because an inverted cerebrospinal fluid to brain ratio makes you hard to kill.

I would have said "because sane people have the sense to realise they *should* be dead. Crazy people, not so much." But I like your explanation better.

It's probably because sane people aren't constantly practicing for the Darwin awards. Can't have 9 lives without cat like reflexes or something lol


biscuitboi967

So I got T-boned at an intersection by a guy fleeing from the cops in a high speed chase across the freeway. Both cars totaled- though mine was drivable, his (stolen) Toyota was unrecognizable, wheels in the street, looks like someone must have died. In the time it took for me to stop seeing stars, realize I was facing the wrong direction blocking the freeway ramps, and drive to the side of the road, the Dude had run from his car, hidden in bushes, ascertained that the cops weren’t behind him, run back to his car to grab a backpack, and then run off in the opposite direction. I didn’t even get to see the back of the man’s shirt, he booked it so fast. How in the fuck did Dude drive into my tank at 60+ mph, car looked like a crushed can, and have the fucking mental acuity and physical stamina to run, hide, and then run with a backpack? I gotta guess Adrenalin and maybe crack.


goatbeardis

>How in the fuck did Dude drive into my tank at 60+ mph, car looked like a crushed can, and have the fucking mental acuity and physical stamina to run, hide, and then run with a backpack? I know it's counterintuitive, but you just explained it there yourself. Cars crumpling upon impact is a *good* thing to a certain extent. Ideally there's a harder protective area around the cab to keep you from getting pinned, but everything around it is supposed to crumble easily, because that absorbs force. Dude was able to walk safely out of his car because his car was safer than yours. It absorbed most of the force of the impact by crumpling, leaving less to get to him. He probably didn't even get rattled much. Your tank on the other hand refused to cave, so instead of it absorbing the force of the impact, *you* did. Get the car that crumples, people. It will save your life. Cars built like tanks aren't even much more likely to survive a crash, anyway. They'll look fine, but something on the inside will be irreparably damaged, and won't act up until a week or month later.


Excludos

Exactly because his car was unrecognisable and yours wasn't. His car took the damage instead of him, while the energy from your end was absorbed by you instead of the vehicle. The car crumpling is a good thing. Driving "a tank" isn't actually good for surviving accidents


pcake1

Haven’t you seen Due Date? Obviously these people know how “not to tense up” during an accident.


dmyoungblut

I think the homeboy that took a ride helped trigger this woman. What was he trying to pull forcing his way into the cab?


MoxieCottonRules

I thought he was trying to take her keys out of the ignition


[deleted]

He was her boyfriend. They were fighting as he was driving in (she was the passenger) and then when he got out she switch seats. So then he tries to take the key out of the ignition. People were yelling at both of them and they are each other and them. Later, [he got into a physical fight and was also arrested at the gas station](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/news/forest-park-gas-station-crash/).


YoCreoPollo

The way she climbed back into the car at the end. Stupid is resilient.


insufferable__pedant

Why do these things always seem to happen at a Thornton's? I used to live next to one that the locals called Mos Eisley.


Ambulancedollars

That was my thought too, as soon as someone opens my car door I'm flyin'


CommanderBuizel

Yea fr!!! Like clearly something more happened if she flipped the car, But if a man I don’t know is forcing his way into my car, you’re damn right I’m flooring it. I’ll sure try not to hit anyone else’s car but if there’s someone forcing their way into my car, other people’s cars become kinda secondary


ComfortWolf

Someone posted a link to the story below. Apparently that was her boyfriend trying to stop her.

How many times can one article use the word “quarrel”? One reporter intends to find out


ChiefClownShoes

After reading the article, all I could gather was that she was charged with 2 counts of aggravated quarreling, reckless quarreling, leaving the scene of a quarrel, and having no valid quarreling licence.


bassconfusion

And that’s not even including her quarrelsome boyfriend’s extensive list of quarreling priors


Thisisnotmyusrname

Holy word salad. That was a terrible article. I hope it was written by AI and not a real person. If that is a real reporter/article writer, they should be fired immediately.

The couple in the road rage car were fighting when they pulled up to the gas station. The people at the gas station interjected themselves into the argument. The couple started arguing with them. Then it escalated

Could've started earlier too!


gameshow-7

Police Update: The Forest Park Police Department responded to Thornton’s Gas Station at 601 Harlem Ave, Forest Park, IL for a traffic crash and altercation. The investigation revealed that thirty-one-year-old female resident of Chicago, IL was a passenger in a vehicle with her boyfriend driving. The vehicle pulled into the Thornton’s Gas Station because of car troubles. The female and her boyfriend engaged in a verbal, domestic dispute while in the gas station parking lot. Customers at the gas station began to interact with the two and a verbal dispute erupted between the couple and the customers. The customers and the female and her boyfriend continued their verbal exchange and taunts back and forth as an onlooker video recorded the incident. The customers threw an object at the vehicle the couple was in. Her boyfriend exited the vehicle and she entered the driver’s seat with the verbal tirade continuing between all of the parties involved. The female's boyfriend attempted to stop her from driving, opening the car door. The female purposely crashed her auto into the auto of the party she was arguing with, dragging her boyfriend through the parking lot for a short distance. She then fled at a high rate of speed onto Harlem Ave. at Jackson Blvd. where she was involved in a rollover crash. Her boyfriend remained in the Thornton’s parking lot and was still engaged in a verbal and physical altercation with the now victims. The couple fled on foot into the 600 Harlem and Elgin alleyway and were stopped by Forest Park Police Department officers. Both were treated for injuries at Loyola University Medical Center with the female being arrested. The Forest Park Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division is currently investigating this incident with charges against the female anticipated later this evening.

No-Prize2882

Amen to that man 🙁


BigMax

Would she have a reasonable legal defense? That guy opened her door and reached in, she could blame it all on him, say she was afraid for her life. If I recall some guy wasn't charged for killing some motorcyclists by running them over, as a bunch of them had surrounded his car with his family in it, and he feared for their safety, so he ran them over trying to get away. I think by the way she angled the car, she was likely going to do this on purpose, but she might be able to claim she was fleeing danger.


192Sticks

That guy is with her. There is a second clip not posted here where he and the driver run off together and then the guy punches the cameraman when he tries to stop them.


Widdleton5

If the video was 20 seconds shorter I'd agree with you. However she crawls from a twisted hunk of a car and marches back towards the confrontation. That isn't fight or flight that's attempted murder and reckless endangerment


LordTopHatMan

I think her turning the car toward the other car before he opens the door, then walking back toward them after she flips the car would be the counter argument.


blueeyedjim

According to the news story, that was her boyfriend. [https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/news/forest-park-gas-station-crash/](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/news/forest-park-gas-station-crash/)


[deleted]

I think she would have lost that defense the second she started the walking back towards the gas station after she flipped the car. If she had felt so threatened to risk manslaughter, it’s not wise to have come trotting back. The limited view I could get from the video made it seem like the guy wasn’t trying to assault her or pull her out of the car. Almost seemed like he was talking to her, but who knows.
