Motorcycle smashed into car - OUCH!

found this on another forum. have not been able to verify if it is correct. pictures look correct

The Swedish Police had this vehicle/bike "cleaned out" on completion of their investigations and put it back together to show what can happen in a motorcycle accident.
The Honda rider was traveling at such "very high speed", his reaction
time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police
estimate a speed of ~250 km/h before the bike hit the slow moving car
side on at an intersection.

At that speed, they predicted that the riders reaction time once the vehicle came into view wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes.

The car had two passengers and the bike and rider were found INSIDE the car. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place. All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly.

This graphic demonstration was placed at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair
by the Swedish Police and Road Safety Department. The sign above the display also noted that the rider had only recently obtained his license."

someone else posted the pics and i shamlessly thought everyone here needed to see them.
