The lady in ther looks fake but the rest of it seems ok.

On the same note thoguth letley i have almost been in 3 crashes all involving Old people. After a certian point they need to have a driving test , but not the crappy one the give you when your 16 but a 20mile aroundtown/highway test.

Well it looks fake. First off there is no damage to the bumper. now if she had hit the guy and rolled off I could believe it. but he was hit and then flipped in mid air from the time she hit his leg then his head smashing into the windshield.Meaning she had to be going about 30-50 miph at least. The man looks like he is medium build so that anywhere from 150-180 pounds right? that would have cracked that bumper and put a good dent into the hood and grill. Plus there is just something about the guy he looks super imposed or something. The picture of him compared to the others it just looks a little to clear.

Whats weird is the lady driving acts like nothing is happening , but all the people around are like OMG!!!

Those vehicles are not from the United States. The license plates are distinctly European if anything. The vehicles appear to be mostly VW and Benz. The ones in the back on the left side look possibly like Pugeot emblems, possibly Citroen... can't tell because of the glare. That's not a minivan, either. If anything, it's a deluxe wagon.

The camera data is also foreign, in terms of its relation to US methods. They use commas instead of decimals, and the word "Foto" is also a tip-off. The parking mannerisms of the automobiles on the right side is also different from any place that I've ever seen in the US, and I've been in many many areas of the country (as a point of reference, not fact).

If it is fake, it's a damn good one. I'd speculate that the only non-original portions of that image are the man. I think the original photo *POSSIBLY* had the two pedestrians who may have nearly stepped out in front of the vehicle. I say this not with any certainty, but merely a guess as to what it could be if it were fake. Things that make me suspicious are the position of the guy and his briefcase, and most importantly that piece of trash under the wheel. It didn't seem there the first time, though I could be missing it.

I sincerely doubt she was going 30 miles per hour, and it's my opinion that you don't know enough of what you're talking about to conclusively determine this. The events depicted in the photograph are neither implausible nor uncommon. It's possible it's a fake, and I'm not saying it isn't, but your post is hardly decisive.

Edit: One last thing: if it was a fake, there probably wouldn't be a hi-res version available.

not 30 mph, you can kill someone going 10-15. other than the woman looking unconcerned about anything, it looks real.

C'mon SDM. This isn't super-harmonious third grade show and tell. This is a discussion forum. Let us have our fun.

sorry, <debate on>

Ok I Exsagerated (SP?) with the speed I had just gotten up when I looked at it. But I come from a family of automechanics also my father was a towtruck driver and thats now what I do. I've been looking at wrecked cars for the past 18 years of my life that I can remember (I'm 23 almost 24 now) I've seen the damage done to cars when they hit people like that. and from what I see there. unless that bumper is made of steel (which I doubt because its a car and not a truck) it should at least have a small crackor it should be bent. and from how that guy was thrown in the air and did a complete flip before being hit again(From the angle the camera is on it looks like his head smashes into it again) she had to be carrying some speed and IF his head did hit the windshield I'm sure it would be cracked if not shattered. It's my speculation but I have experience with car accidents and people getting hit by cars.
