"DRIVER KILLED IN CRASH: A state trooper peers into the wreckage of a sedan after a two-car fatality Thursday night on U.S. 20 a half-mile west of the Alpine Road exit. The accident occurred at 8:47 p.m. Police said a green Lexus was eastbound on U.S. 20, left the road, crossed through the median and struck a westbound Ford Explorer. The impact of the crash split the Lexus into two. The Lexus driver was killed; the Explorer driver was taken to SwedishAmerican Hospital."

Sad news, be safe out there.

Can anyone enlarge and clear up this photo to see what kind of Lexus it was?

Holly and we thought the ferrari in that Thrashers' accident was destroyed. Maybe the pic should be a sticky in the "race enthousiast" forum just to remind everyone what could happen. I'm not implying it was caused by racing but still. Just my $ .01.

That looks pretty grim. They must have been going very fast to disintegrate the car on impact like that. I don't think airbags and a seatbelt would have helped the Lexus driver. Hope the other driver pulls thru. This is a timely reminder that our actions affect the lives of others in many ways. Be careful out there.

I enlarged it but...it just shows how mangled the mystery Lexus got. My guess is an newer ES300 or LS430 take a look at the headlight frame. Wait, now that I look at it more I'm not sure that even is a headlight frame .
