This is what happens when you hit a tree sideways between 150-200kph.
Amazingly (according to the email I got at work) both 18yo's walked away from this!  The marks on the road look like the driver got into a spot of bother!  Tree = 1  Ute = 2!  LS1 half-cut, anyone?  Cash the rego...  & tub it? |

Those guys are lucky that it wasnt a front on impact, and it just tore the ute in half instead. They were bloody close to hitting a house by the looks of it, too.
It won't buff out. |

I tell you what, trees are invincible! Never ceases to amaze me how a living thing can do that to over a ton of steel moving that fast and remain standing.

Wish I was 18 and invincible again. Now when I hit trees they hurt...
...though they can be conquered - i knocked down two gum trees when the paddock basher 70's Falcon ute I was driving on property out west hit them 3/4 on.

A 1 tonne car hitting it at 40cm above the ground would be a miniscule force compared to that. What I find more interesting is how damn cheeky these trees are, always jumping out in the way of cars. I mean, if you ever ask a driver what/who was at fault, the typical bloke will never admit he was in the wrong.  :
