proof the Dakar is not for solo acts... it breaks cars, real bad, and you'll need a support team and spare parts to get back on the road


9 time WRC champion Sebastien Loeb who, with co-driver Daniel Elena, crashed his #314 Team Peugeot diesel truck on January 11.

They had to change two wheels, the transmission, had to patch up the radiator, and then discovered a broken shaft when they tried to move. Total downtime: Under 90 minutes.

Sebastian is also a spokesman for AFSA, Angelman Syndrome

The bus was large and threatening. It just stayed there instead of retreating as the police officer got closer. Obvious justification: The police officer was in fear for his life. The police will conduct an investigation and determine that they were not at fault... of course. This is the 5th time this has happened in El Paso in recent years.


It happened about 7:45 a.m. in front on Schuster Elementary School.

Think about that... the cop was speeding and driving recklessly in a school zone.

Hit a school bus.

Wasn't self respecting enough to resign for gross professional negligence and a discredit to law enforcement professionals everywhere

There were no children in the bus and the officer was not injured, police said.

Officer Kevin Mckinney, a seven-year veterean of the force, was cited for driver inattention.

Or the kids were too slow getting off the bus. The officer gently lifted the left rear corner of the bus so the kids could flow out the right front corner more quickly!

Someone just had a bad crash while I was near the freeway, right across the fence from where I work




The guy in the upside down car got out allright, No one seemed badly injured, the car rolled over sideways once, probably from going up on the center divider


From what I can figure, someone had just tried to go from the slow to the fast lanes, and found that traffic was changing velocity unexpectedly, and hit the back of this truck, then the updide down car struck the center divider and rolled over, luckily it wasn't struck from behind
