Unhappy My Co-worker lost control and hit a tree

On thursday night at about 8 pm my friend lost control of his car and hit a tree head on. He hit the tree head-on at over 70 mph. He sustained a concusion after the crash and now he is doing fine. He says he is lucky the he didn't pick up his daughter or she would have been involed in the crash. The accident ouccured only 10 min. away from his home. The car he was driving was a 2003 Mercedes CL55 Amg. He was lucky he was driving a safe Mercedes Benz, because he would have been killed if he was driving a drifferent car. The CL55 is compeletly distroyed. He is still in the hospital, he is alright now.

I took some Pictures of the damage yesterday:









^ The engine is compeletly gone and the frame of the car is totaled.

Very unfortunate for him. The car doesn't look too bad though. Will it be repaired or taken to the scrap yard??

The frame of the car is completely distroyed and the engine block is cracked, so it's probabaly going to the scrap yard.

Glad to know that he is alright now but damn it hurts so much seeing a gorgeous CL55 in that shape

Glad he is okay.

When no one is looking. Take the supercharger, control modules and any interior pieces that are still good.

My gosh... we can complain about the detrimental effect modern safety equipment has on a car's weight, but boy does it do a good job...

One step ahead of you, I replaced my living room recliner with the driver seat and the navigation is my new Tv. jk, LOL. I'll see if i could get the supercharger and some parts though, I can probably get some money off of it on ebay.

I guess it's best to take it sell it to a dealer or mechanic and let them butcher it for spare parts. There some good money in that wreck.
