Disintegrated Lotus Elise
According to reports this horrific accident happened in Austin Texas last week (April 26) and unfortunately, from what we learned, the driver didn’t make it out alive. The pictures of the torn apart Elise practically looks like it was run over something. We don’t have any details on how the accident occurred but there’s an image of the speedo showing 112mph (180 km/h). Although that could mean that the unfortunate driver was either going significantly faster when he lost control or that something went bad really fast, it could also mean nothing considering how sensitive the speedometer needles are.

Man dies after 3-vehicle wreck
An Austin man died Thursday after the car he was driving collided with two pickups in western Travis County, a Texas Department of Public Safety official said.
Jack Griffith, 41, was traveling west at a high speed on FM 2244 between West Lake Hills and Bee Cave just after 1:30 p.m. when he lost control of his car and hit an eastbound GMC pickup driven by William Jackson, 42, of Austin, DPS communications operator Analisa Guerra said. Then the car collided with an eastbound Ford pickup driven by Cutberto Segura, 29, of Austin, Guerra said.
Griffith was taken to Brackenridge Hospital, where he died.
Jackson, Segura, and two passengers in the Ford — Oscar Anjeles, 24, and Armando Carrillo, 31 — were taken to St. David's Hospital, and all were in stable condition, Guerra said.
Everyone involved in the crash was wearing a seat belt, Guerra said.
