Bad supra crash in Belfast this morning

Report says that the driver was rushed to hospital in a 'serious condition' after having to be cut out of the car. Hope he's ok, sadly another supra bites the dust. It looks like a Republic of Ireland registration plate and the car isn't familiar to me, any Irish/Northern Irish members recognise it or know the owner?? Conditions here at that time were good, it wasn't frosty or icy in Belfast even earlier on this morning, and that road is a 30mph limit.

That's horrendous, certainly hope no one is injured.

 

But doesn't look good judging by the fact the car hit the tree (looks like) on the side with no bark left, and wrapped around the tree finishing in that orientation.

 

Some impact that, especially right on the driver, if it is a right hand drive of course.

 

Dreadful :(

Maybe just got caught out with the bad weather. Was icey enough early on and maybe just greasy by that stage.

 

There must have been speeding involved too, as Keron said there's no way that damage happened at 30. Although maybe he unintentionally sped up while having the heart attack.

 

Whatever the circumstances, it's tragic for him and his loved ones, and at least there's some small consolation in that he probably didn't suffer, and no one else was involved. RIP :(

Hope that isnt fatal. That's a 30mph zone though and that crash, ice or no, is way over that speed. Lucky no one else was hurt driving like that

He died mate. As far as ive been told theres no implications of any "bad driving". Think it was all circumstances and a chain of events following the heart attack

Yea I've just seen, updated my post. I had left it sitting on the page for a while and not refreshed. Didn't know it was a heart attack. Condolences to the family
