Bad Accident (not me)
I have a buddy with an M3. In his car club is one WRX owner. Just thought everyone with a Subaru needed to see this.
Apparently he hit a tree/pole right where the driver sits. The driver broke both arms, both legs, his spleen, and many other parts. I heard he just got his Accesport and loaded the Stage 2 map. Hopefully he recovers quickly.

I remember going to Ybor city and seeing that wagon on the roof with a two or three BMWs taking pictures. IIRC, they had a meet beforehand. They asked me to get into the photoshoot with them, but the car was so dirty (Wheels were gunmetal).
God, I was so wasted that night.

Yeah thats LD hes races with us out in Brooksville and Z-hills.
The details still aren't totally clear, but from what's been gathered so far, he was travelling east on Platt (3-lane 1-way road in South Tampa), at likely a decently high rate of speed, when a car started to pull out from a side road in front of him. He swerved left (from the right lane), to avoid it, then quickly cranked it back to the right, to avoid a car in another lane. The car appears to have oversteered, and the back end got loose. He slid almost 100 feet sideways, into a telephone pole. It impacted right at the B-Pillar. Miraculously, the door being pushed inwards shoved him up to the dash/steering wheel, and he wasn't crushed. If he had been a few inches further back, or had hit a few inches further up on the pole, he might not have fared as well as he did. As it was, the pole was split in two.
He broke his pelvis, and ankle (possibly more?), and had to have his spleen removed. The firefighters had to cut the roof off of his car with the jaws of life to get him out. He was in the ICU at Tampa General Hospital for the last 4 days, and had surgery yesterday to remove shards of bone from his pelvis, and insert a screw, I believe. He's now in a private room, and seems to be improving, though he won't be walking normally for around 12 weeks
