Georgia Driver Somehow Escapes Massive Windshield Impalement With Minor Injuries
Georgia Driver Somehow Escapes Massive Windshield Impalement With Minor Injuries-July 2024

We know. Upon seeing the photo above, which features perhaps a dozen or more logs impaling a Nissan Xterra’s windshield, you thought you clicked the wrong window and accidentally brought up that Final Destination movie you started for the millionth time last night—for reasons unbeknownst to you or anyone else.

But as it turns out, this was a real thing that really happened, and the driver somehow escaped with minor injuries.

The Whitfield County Fire Department in Georgia posted that photo, along with several others, on its Facebook page this month, saying in the caption that the impalement happened on the morning of Oct. 11. The post alluded to only one person being in the Xterra at the time the logs went through the windshield, saying the “patient had only minor injuries.”

That was all the post said, and news stations that covered it, such as in nearby Chattanooga, Tennessee or in not-nearby Oregon, didn’t have further information on the cause of the incident as of their writings. The department told Jalopnik that Georgia State Patrol responded to the crash, and we’ve reached out to ask if cause was determined. We’ll update this story if we hear back.

But until then, just know that someone in Georgia entered the universe of Final Destination—not the one where the deaths are just scripted plot elements, either—and somehow escaped with minor injuries. That’s probably better than most of us could’ve done.

Nissan got out to a very early lead in the EV game by delivering all the way back in 2011. It was really the first mass-market electric car with a somewhat within reach price tag. The small 24 kWh battery array and lack of battery temperature management which allowed...

Everything Wrong With The Tesla Cybertruck, According To A Legendary Designer
When Tesla released its Cybertruck, it made a splash because it was certainly a different look to, well, pretty much anything we see on the market today. With futuristic, inorganic lines and sharp panels, it’s the kind of car you’re either going to love or hate. And automotive designer...

Do you know the number of lumens your car’s headlight bulbs are supposed to be putting out? Do any of us? Probably not, unless you’re employed as a clerk at an store, or you’re a . So, let’s not blame this individual in who fixed their busted-ass headlights by...

BMW Built A Sim Racing Rig You Might Not Be Embarrassed To Keep In The Living Room
Sim racing is a fun hobby, but obviously a cost- and space-prohibitive one. If you have the ability to keep your setup in an office or perhaps its own room, more power to you. But if you live in a small apartment (ahem), shoehorning a wheel and pedals into...

What Are The Worst Driving Conditions?
Snow. Ice. Sand. Rain. Gravel. Tiny mountain passes. Clogged, multi-lane highways. The roads of the world are lined with precarious driving conditions that can make life hell for anyone on four (or two) wheels, and I want to know: what are the absolute worst? Now, the things that I...
