Even if the Z driver had provoked something and was trying to get away from the truck afterwards, the truck driver is equally at fault for pursuing the Z. If he felt this offended, maybe he should have called the police?

I'm sorry but as dumb as the Z driver might have been... I'm 99.9% sure the truck instigated. He probably didn't expect the Z to be able to stop so fast. Remember. 102ft makes the Z the fastest stopper on a production car under 100k and possibly over as well. Stopping on the street is the Z's forte. Try that in a pickup. Especially from 100mph. I know I can stop my Z extremely quick from over 100. No way in hell a truck would be able to slow down as fast as me. He was chasing him and couldn't stop. Regardless, he was on the chase and he wasn't a cop. F**k that truck driver. Plain and simple. |

Whatever happened, the occupants of the Z are fortunate to still be breathing. People need to chill out these days. We lose more people to accidents than actual combat. It's sad.....

Hey, listen. I'm not saying anything or claiming anything. No one knows who provoked who. But the fact remains that the z driver was trying to ESCAPE the pick up driver. Comprende? As for risking other people's lives to save myself, I guess if you were that z driver you would stand by and wait for the red neck to put a couple of bullets in your skull just to avoid the risk of running over some cute little school kids

To all douche bags talking about this driver!
The Driver of this 370z is a close family friend of mine and he was being chased by a guy in a silverado and was ramming him trying to make him wreck he was going over 110 trying to lose him when the truck hit him from the side (P.I.T maneuver) and spun off the road and flipped into multiple trees and signs.
He is in ICU with a broken back and neck and multiple other injuries do to being launched out of the car at 100 something mph... The doctor says he has a 17% chance at living and if he does he will be completely paralyzed... |

Damn. I wish him the best. And I hope the pickup driver rots in jail for the rest of his life.

Ugh. That's bad but no one deserves to get hurt over that.
