So they totalled the car out. It does not look that bad that it could not be fixed

..."He was flown to Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore with serious head injuries, officials said."...

I hope he made it...

Wow, initially I thought that maybe the driver slammed on the brakes with someone in the back seat. Tree branch through the front makes more sense though.

+1 on whether the guy made it?

Appears the link says "Man Injuried...", thankfully it didn't mention it as a fatality.

Godspeed on his recovery.

Why the speculation? Oklahoma's web site even says it was a tree branch. They failed to mention that this is blood though.

I hope the fella is ok.

The article said he had head injuries but then didn't make any other reference to his condition. Maybe he made it and maybe he didn't. It's a serious downer.

I'd at least clean the blood before putting it up for sale. Maybe even change the seat and install a windshield?

I hope the driver survives.

LOL @ the pic!

A woman driving was killed two weeks ago here in NJ during a windstorm-stopped at a light and got slammed.

Geez. The force required to torque that seat must have simultaneously inflicted horrific injuries on something as fragile as a human body. My thoughts are with the poor soul (obviously a kindred spirit) who was driving it.
There but for the grace of God...
