Recognize this car?

We won’t fault you if you can’t. This charred remnant was once a 2005 Dodge Viper and if there was ever any car accident that you don’t want to be in the middle of, this should take the cake. The driver of the car was cruising along the streets of Laurel, Mississippi when he lost control of his Viper while passing another car. As a result, his rear end gets dislodged, loses control of his vehicle and goes off to the side of the road.

If that wasn’t enough, he crashes his Viper into a tree, after which, it catches fire. The photo of the once-proud American muscle car is a gruesome sight, unrecognized beyond despair.

Now you’re probably wondering what became of the poor man behind the wheel of this car. Well, judging from the severity of his crash and burn – literally speaking, of course – he suffered two broken ankles and a broken right arm. Considering the extent of the crash, three broken bones in his body would probably be considered a blessing in disguise because quite frankly, it could have been much worse.

Much, much worse.
