On a late night back around 1988, a local 19 year old man from nearby small town Alexis, IL, was driving his late 60s Chevelle VERY fast on northbound US 67. He left the road and hit a big maple tree head on, on the driver’s side. Killed instantly.
The 327 v8 and 4 speed trans was launched about 200 feet into our cow pasture.
Something similar.....
Must have been summer 1976 we were all awakened around 2 am by a loud metal crunching.
Across the road some drunk put his red Impala into the ditch at a high rate of speed and rolled the car over several times.
We all rushed over there to find the dazed driver, with nary a scratch on him, sitting on the neighbors yard next to the engine. The car was in pieces everywhere.
Go figure.....
