Sad Day

[brydeemer]

Hey there, I thought you all would be curious to hear about this. Up until Tuesday I was the happy owner of a Progege5. That was until the black ice. While I managed to avoid crashing into a fully loaded school bus, I was unable to keep my car in one piece. Although the accident was severe I crawled out without a scratch. Let this be a testament to the safety of the 5. Love it and respect it.

Was this in Kutztown, PA? Saw an article online on Morning Call's website a few days back and looks very similar.

Glad to know you are OK - always dangerous when you roll one over. Keep your eyes open for another - all the sheeple who only bought them because they were 'cool' will probably let them go for nothing...

Good luck

That was the same accident indeed. The bus crashed just minutes before I came upon the scene.

I will probably be buying a new Mazda3, but I will see what the dealership has available in used stock.

[Captain KRM P5]

holy crap....wow....

glad to hear you are ok

Not quite as bad as my wreck, but still a testament to the safety of the Protege. Glad to hear you're OK.

One of the reasons I like my wife driving this car (lives in Bethlehem) is that thick C piller. It would have to be something pretty bad to flatten the roof.

Nearest dealer is Emmaus, right? Good luck on finding a new ride...

wow, glad your okay. after seeing yours and justin's wrecks driving protege's, it makes me feel a little safer now......

with a cloth and some turtle wax it'll buff out

I have a lot of family in that area (Bethlehem, Allentown, Emmaus, Kutztown). Glad to hear you're ok; even more glad to see how safe the p5 really is.

with a cloth and some turtle wax it'll buff out

And a little dry ice will remove that dent in the roof

Good to hear you're OK

Glad you are OK, those damn pro's are tough....

 

[Lexusviper]

wow glad to see ya walked away...what a strong ****** car

 

[maxek]

Glad your okay! What made you flip up side down?

 

[Lord_Zath]

wait so the bus crashed first, then you tried to avoid and in doing so hit black ice, looks like you hit a curb, flip, then slide to the other end of the road where you hit the other car in the right rear quarter? What's the speed limit of this road? You must've been going pretty fast...

Good job on surviving though. I like that firefighter crawling into the wreck. Looks like he got flattened.

damn glad u r ok and walked away. i swear...this is y i like this car!

 

[REMillers]

WoW after reading the news on that sounds like a huge mess.

In order to avoid the cars stopped in the middle of the road, I aimed for the side of the road. There was an embankment there. When I hit the embankment I was launched into the air dukes of hazzard style and came crashing down on my roof. Quite the morning commute.
