oh my fscking GOD!!!

Richard, as you may remember from the last few posts, has done it again. I just heard about it a few minutes ago, so I went to the horses mouth for the whole story. I can't post the entire story yet. Here's what i can post:
Richard was driving Jay's ML320 after school around 3PM after school yesterday. They were looking for a good spot to go 4-wheeling, so the two of them went out driving. Richard was behind the wheel. They were driving (from what I know) behind the school close to our usual spots, only driving a little bit further than normal down the paved road. While driving on the paved road, Richard put the petal to the metal. As they were going faster, they hit a bump in the road and the back end drifted out to the side for a bit. He corrected, and it slid to the other side. They hit one final bump and they got massive air. When they landed, he lost control completely, and the back end flew around and around, right into a tree. They were going pretty fast when they hit, and it totaled the SUV. Airbags didn't go off, and it was said that they would have flipped if it weren't for the tree. CHP was on the scene, as were Richard's parents who whisked him away before Jay's parents had arrived. I haven't spoken with Jay yet, but he should show up here within the hour... I'll keep you posted.

one minor edit to the post. there was only one bump, and we jumped it. we went roughly 30-40 yards (90-120 ft) in the air. when we landed, we were aimed to the right a little.(keep in mind that we were doing 110 mph) we went all four wheels off the road for a little bit, mowing down a few small saplings, then I got back on the road. I was pretty much back in control at that time. When the front passenger side tire was almost back on the road, it blew. That's what caused the car to go out of control. we went over to the left side of the road, then the car turned sideways, and we skidded sideways back across the road, off of it, and into the tree. it was pretty bad.

Yeah, something like that. I went and looked at the crash site and we reconstructed exactly what had happened. I declined to mention that they were going 110 in the actual post, but I guess rich-dogg doesn't care.
