very very crazy crash. that car was bent in half! heh i would still be in shock if i were you guys, just from seeing my precious car all bent up hehe. such a good looking car too, i gotta 96 and i know i'd cry if my car was bent up like that. yah, next time, just hit those stupid deer blocking our path hehe, the tree may be undefeated, but i'm sure deer won't total your car.

I call the 5-lug hubs! Haha! just kidding. I think you guys may have been in better hands if you had hit the deer (seems like you were going PRETTY fast though, i dont know if one would have flew through your wind shield..). I hit a "flock" of deer on a windy road a few months back and the option of going off the road to avoid them never entered my mind. Just brake, brake, brake, brake, boom! haha. a damn shame since it was my silvia face that took it. =[
I'm glad you guys didnt sustain any permenent injuries.

You had the stock seatbelts right? Aren't they supposed to keep you from hitting the steering wheel? If the nismo wheel was bent back 1 inch he must've hit his head pretty hard, assuming that the nismo wheel is build solid. The stock steering wheel is designed to bend easily in case of a crash.

apzak- what town do you live in? I'm techinically in Cedar Knolls which is just down the road from morristown...
as for exactly what road i was on, I'd rather not say. In retrospect, it was a very stupid to be on that road in the first place. I will only say that it was about an hour north of morristown in sussex county and it was VERY remote, too remote actually.

Sorry i am late to this thread.. Its horrible news to see that your car was wrecked & you and your friend were injured. But after seeing the pictures it clearly could have been worse, and I'm glad you are both alive.
I have seen at least 3 totaled 240s now.. each one crumpled up well.. each one saved the occupants life.

hmm i thought it was somewhere near jockey hollow because those are preaty deserted (went at night so didnt see any homes) but thats south of morristown.. north would be splitrock road maybe? but that's not an hour away and not really in the middle of nowhere.. could u maybe pm me or email me the road if you dont want to post it to the public? If not thats cool.. as for where I live? Morris Plains/powdermill. I can walk to graystone but if your caught walking by the police they take it seriously and assume you were trying to break in, they stopped me for driving by once.

As Anand said, GOOD GOD MAN!!!! I have never in my life seen an s14 wrecked like that. I mean, its a perfect hit directly in the middle of the front end. Jeez, I can't even look at those pictures. Sorta same thing happened to me and my friend a couple years ago in his 5th gen Prelude, except we hit a tree sideways, which killed my friend. It sucks. But, at least you two made it out ok. Sorry about it all though.
or an S13 with an SR.. or somthing AWD...-

Damn dood, sounds almost like my story when I lived in NJ. I was driving home from philly one nite decided to take one of the back roads to get back to the base. Saw a couple of deer on my right side so i started to slow down then 3 more popped in front of me so I swerved, started sliding sideways towards some trees, counter steered and ended up clipping a tree ripping my bumper, pass fender, door and part of my rear fender. Needless to saY, Hunting season came and went hunting with a friend to get even with the deer.

True - but from an insurance perspective, it goes like this (this is based on my dealings when I broadsided the 2nd deer after changing lanes to avoid the first, and talking with the insurance co):
- if you smack the deer, and don't crash into anything else, it's a no-fault accident. Your insurance pays, and your rates don't go up. My car had total coverage, so I dunno if liability only would pay for this (check your policy)
- if you swerve to avoid the deer and wreck, it's now considered the driver's fault, and you may have this considered an accident (just like any other) on your record. In this case, I think that only comprehensive/collision coverage would handle the case (this last statement is my own guess).
It may be possible to get yor insurance company to agree to treat it as a deer accident, but I think they try to cover their asses because there's really no proof of a deer involvement if you don't smack the deer.
The moral of the story is - hit the deer if you are going to hit anything.

that tree roughed your guys up! I'd like to see a pic of what happened to that tree, its gotta be cut up like you guys. Definitly lucky to be alive.
Is your car 'totaled'? hopefully insurance companies actually help you guys out instead of the usual bs.
If i was your friend and i wrecked your S14, i'd feel so bad.

i was in a 240 in a similar accident. i was in the woods coming back from a party near tne mississippi river when the rear just came around on me. it was my friends 96 240, him asleep in the back and my gf of the time in the passenger seat. next thing we know there is a tree and im looking eye level at dirt. nothing was salvageable. parts where thrown for about 100 feet into the woods. it sucked ***. thank god for seatbelts.
Hell yeah!

You bet your *** they do! I was in a similar accident (except for the fact that I lost control and hit a guard rail with the back of my car) and I would have been thrown out the BACK end of the car easily if I hadn't been wearing a seat belt. So remember kids, buckle up. (No, seriously.)
