    Four people survive a car accident in which the vehicle was split in two.

    The accident happened on southbound I-15 where it meets up with southbound I-5 in the Southcrest area just after midnight Tuesday.

    Only one vehicle was involved in the crash. The driver of the car is under arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.

    "It hit the concrete wall, traveled up partially onto the wall, started sliding down the wall where it hit a post that was holding up a freeway sign," said Officer Art Athens, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol.

    I saw a report a while back about some kid wrecking his SRT-4 going 153 with 2 passengers in the car. Nobody even got hurt. That's either called Divine grace, or really good engineering.

    Dear SRT4 Driver,

    The SRT engineers were just joking when they said "break it in for 300 miles then drive it like you stole it."

    Regards,

    Why did it take 15-20 minutes to get the people out of 1/2 a car?

    What. That's not split "in half". It's just missing the trunk. Nev replaced his back end in his driveway in a few hours. They just come right off.
