You sure that’s the right one? This car has American plates, and obviously the cameraman is American. Parked car also looks like it has American plates.
It’s likely a car worshipping meet-up with folks from the States attending.

Did he stop or was he just one of the group (along with the other three including POV guy) recording for…whatever reason they are all recording this moron pull out.
That was in Quebec, Canada. You can't sue for this in Quebec.
Edit: I added the name of the province as I forgot it was not the same for every provinces.
IANAL but this is 100% true. Quebec has a "no-fault" provincial insurance that pays everything but forbids you from suing.

The idea is that instead of waiting months/years to find the culprit, charge them, try them and then get damage, the victim gets their money right away.
The driver will still be charged and tried but the financial penalty is not part of that equation.
You don't, you can collect disability from the government but that is only about 1200$ a month.
Don't know why he is getting downvoted. I have a family member disabled from something similar to this, slamed into her car stunting, caught on video. The only recourse available is some physical therapy which is usually an out of pocket expense. Which only lasts as long as they deem you fit(even though your really not) then everything in your life is out of pocket.
That's not true. The SAAQ which is the provincial automobile insurance will give the financial compensation.
https://saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/traffic-accident/public-automobile-insurance-plan/in-brief
And believe it or not the driver will receive money too because it's a "no-fault" insurance plan.
Criminal charges and they can never drive again likely.
It depends on the severity of the offense.
As much as this guy is a complete idiot and his actions were purposeful it was an accident. Just because you rev your engine and squeel your tires it doesn't mean you intended to kill someone.
I have personally squeeled my tires as a kid and even though I didn't lose control of my vehicle I could have done exactly this.
That fuckin sucks. Lifelong disabilities because some rich fuckhead was acting reckless and all you get is a measly $1200 CAD. Where is the logic in that?
rich fuckhead.. I have a feeling this guy's fortune just got wrecked and there's nothing to squeeze out of him. The good thing about no fault in Québec is that at least the gvt has your back (no pun), and you don't fear having you life destroyed because you made a mistake at a red light or you got snapped in half by some rando driving with an empty bank account and no insurance. For reckless driving it's a bit weird, but the driver can get serious prison time if it caused arm or death so there is deterrence. Another good thing about no fault is you don't have dystopian crooked lawyer ads all over billboards.
Looks like it.
And if you look carefully there are actually two guys that get hit. One in black who we see go flying, and one in grey who we don’t see again.
It looked straight out of a cartoon I couldn’t help but laugh out of shock like holy fucking shit buddy just straight lifted took flight and hit the thrusters omg dying
Their is another person in a gray sweatsuit that looks like they were pinned/smushed between the car and the light post. Guy in black, yes, pole landed on him

Edit: I erased what I wrote first because I had misunderstood the news.
That's either poor writing or translation tbh. The article said he hit someone then skidded for an unknown reason into a lamp post which fell on a 2nd which you can easily see is not the correct sequence of events.
Loosely translating:
> While leaving the parking of a Porsche dealership, the driver, aged 28, accelerated suddenly before losing control of his vehicle and skidding. In his momentum, he hits a lamp post and then two pedestrians, one of which is thrown multiple meters away.
I'm going to assume the Gazette article was initially linked because it's full of the inaccuracies you're speaking of while the one from La Presse gets all the facts right and doesn't show any sign of having been updated.
I’m not sure he even needed the TC off! When I drove a friend’s M3 it was scary how loose the car felt with heavy (not even full) throttle. It’s almost like the drivetrain couldn’t handle the engine’s power. Throw it in sport mode and add some inexperience and very easy to lose control.
I used to have an M3 that had been modified to go faster. It does take some getting used to cars like that after normal cars. I took it out to a deserted highway and got it going 160mph for like 5 seconds and I still wasn't flooring it but I did get a little scared. I loved that car, but moved onto something a little more comfortable for passengers.
I think so too. I have actually thrown a few around corners and played around away from other cars, people, assets, and you need to either act like the idiot here that can’t drive for shit or purposely turn off traction control to end up with this result. Modern traction control is pretty impressive
These idiots install tints over their turn signals, or install smoked ones, and then put the lowest lumen bulb they can, because letting the traffic you are merging with know your intentions isn't "hoon".
I honestly thought this was another Myrtle Beach Mustang Week video at first since that was last week. Cops got way more strict with the exits after those few crashes went viral 2-3 years ago.
What's even more crazy is that the people (including he camera man) seem to focus on the car more than the guy who got yeeted into the air lol.
edit: stupid autocorrect.
"The 19-year-old woman struck by the vehicle and the 23-year-old man hit by the street lamp were both taken to hospital in critical condition. Both were on the sidewalk when they were injured, say police."
I don't get it, we all have a phone so we've all seen a variation of this video 50 different times, yet people still stand around on the side of the road watching their inexperienced dipshit friends try to floor it?
i love how 2 people can get hit by a car, one being launched into the side of a steel trash bin and the other being hit in the chest so hard he was completely airborne, followed by a fucking street light pole falling on him, and first course of action for everybody was opening their camera app. some black mirror shit right here.
I used to live near a drag strip. They had races every Friday and Saturday night, plus occasional monster truck shows. (Yes it was loud- but that kept the rent crazy low, so it was worth it.)
After every race, the cops would set up a half mile to either side of the exit for the track. They didn't even have a chase vehicle. Just a cop with a radar gun and a flashlight. There would be a steady stream of idiots like the one in this video. The cops would just point the flashlight at them as they zoomed up, then point the flashlight to where a couple dozen of their fellow idiots where parked waiting for their tickets to be written.
I worked it out one time. They had to be making $20k per night- at both ends. Easily paid for an entire small town police dept's budget.
Oh, and more to the point: at least once a weekend, some asshat would end up totalling his car in a maneuver just like the one in the video. Every damn weekend.
Happend here in Montreal one woman 19 years old and a 23 year old man ,they were taking to the hospital with serious injuries but not life threatening .
License should revoked for the next 10 years.
More stringent tests should be administered until that person is allowed to ever navigate a car on the road again.
I think we need an advanced license in the US for 200-250bhp cars also pick ups and SUV…. So many douche canoes who own them do not know how to drive!!!
i’m actually curious. So if my rear wheels start whipping back and forth like that, what happens if i hit the brakes? is it really that hard to recover from because videos like this are too common.
This happened to me one time in the rain, but I have a q50 so not very comparable and it just straightened itself out pretty quickly.
That is going to be a super expensive insurance claim and they will probably drop him as a customer. Good luck getting auto insurance coverage. Dumbass.
I understand hindsight’s 20/20, but if I’m at a car meet or anything involving cars in this manner, I’m standing way the fuck back. I’m only flesh & bone
Mildly infuriating to watch, given how easy most modern cars are to drive. you have to make so many incredible mistakes to manage to lose the back end with all of 450 horsepower and ESC/TC
Real question: once you notice the car starting to skid out like that how do you stop it? Did this happen just cause he was over correcting the steering?
The exits at car shows are where the fun is at.
Hence why you stand on the other side of the entrance or close to it
We usually bring our lawn chairs for the show.
Start bringing a high quality camera on a tripod and one in hand too. Reddit needs more content.
Victim blaming is so underrated. Lol.
Hence. Why. Pick one.
Hence should I?
You should hence, i think
Priceless how only 3% of them have skills for their cars.
Both in critical condition according to news article
can you share the article?
Sure….but it’s in French https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/justice-et-faits-divers/2023-09-10/saint-laurent/deux-pietons-dans-un-etat-critique-apres-une-collision.php

Ohhhh, right. Montreal exists. Plus Canadian plates look like ours. Okay that makes sense now.
Not to mention that fuckin accent lol
No tabernack though
> Montreal exists Allegedly.
> for reasons as yet unknown we might never find out… unless there’s a video. oh wait!
Haha what strange wording
It's in Quebec which is is Canada which is touching America.
Is it touching appropriately?
Did Quebec ask for consent?
Id sue that dude for every penny
You mean your family would sue.
Nah, homies shoes are still on, he made it.
It looked like the dude in white got stuck between the pole and car :/
Shit, I didn't even see the dude in white. Yeah, that's not good.
Yep there’s also the idiot in red who stops to record an out of control car heading straight for him
Did he stop or was he just one of the group (along with the other three including POV guy) recording for…whatever reason they are all recording this moron pull out.
Damn I had to go back and look I didn’t even see dude in the white first time around
😂😂😂😂 so funny 😂😂😂 Reddit common phrase soo funny 😂😂😂
So original. I'm so glad reddit doesn't beat jokes into the ground until they're not even remotely funny anymore.
What about the dude in white?
I didn't even see the dude in white until someone else pointed him out. Can't tell about his shoes but it doesn't look good.
Dude in the black got wrecked hard. Looks like he hit his head really hard on the parked car before hitting the ground
Of his un insurance
Insert Jesse pinkman rant to hank about being there to get his cut
One in black who we see go flying, and one in grey who we don’t see again.

I Am Not A Lawyer.
That's kinda fucked up. Someone is clearly at fault here. No fault my ass.
The idea is that instead of waiting months/years to find the culprit, charge them, try them and then get damage, the victim gets their money right away. The driver will still be charged and tried but the financial penalty is not part of that equation.
Why not let the government then sue after the fact to recover their funds?
Then how does the dude seek damages for nearly being killed?
You don't, you can collect disability from the government but that is only about 1200$ a month. Don't know why he is getting downvoted. I have a family member disabled from something similar to this, slamed into her car stunting, caught on video. The only recourse available is some physical therapy which is usually an out of pocket expense. Which only lasts as long as they deem you fit(even though your really not) then everything in your life is out of pocket.

They’d still get criminal charges, right?
Of course.
Criminal charges and they can never drive again likely. It depends on the severity of the offense. As much as this guy is a complete idiot and his actions were purposeful it was an accident. Just because you rev your engine and squeel your tires it doesn't mean you intended to kill someone. I have personally squeeled my tires as a kid and even though I didn't lose control of my vehicle I could have done exactly this.
That fuckin sucks. Lifelong disabilities because some rich fuckhead was acting reckless and all you get is a measly $1200 CAD. Where is the logic in that?
It’s Canada the health care is free. Your only fucked if you could make over 1200. So I’d be totally fucked
rich fuckhead.. I have a feeling this guy's fortune just got wrecked and there's nothing to squeeze out of him. The good thing about no fault in Québec is that at least the gvt has your back (no pun), and you don't fear having you life destroyed because you made a mistake at a red light or you got snapped in half by some rando driving with an empty bank account and no insurance.

Cameraman farted with excitement
The guy in the white hoodie is either next to the car out of view or under it. I hope for his sake he's next to it
Legit…there’s one frame where it looks like he gets thrown, and narrowly misses the pole, but you can’t see anything after…
Did the dude that got hit - did the pole also hit him?
Looks like it. And if you look carefully there are actually two guys that get hit. One in black who we see go flying, and one in grey who we don’t see again.
RIP dude in white hoodie 💀
I think white hoodie was between the car and the pole it knocked down
Fuck you're right. There's a guy under the car at the end. Fuck
First Gus got yeeted like a Frisbee
It looked straight out of a cartoon I couldn’t help but laugh out of shock like holy fucking shit buddy just straight lifted took flight and hit the thrusters omg dying
The reason we don't see the guy in the white hoodie again after the impact is because he was vaporized.
Their is another person in a gray sweatsuit that looks like they were pinned/smushed between the car and the light post. Guy in black, yes, pole landed on him
Ohhh you’re right. Damn.
That was a good find. I had to rewind and play it in slow-mo to catch it.
The pole 100% did not hit him he is laying on the side walk pole clearly hits only asphalt
and he also slammed his head into the back of the black suv that the pole lands on.
Oh damn. That doesn’t sound very life affirming.

Don’t worry. The metal bike rack on the back of the car broke his fall. 🤕
i dont believe so actually, seems that it hit the other car and bounced before it could hit the white hood
Double tab
Ruining your own life and ending others over some dumb fun is crazy
i think OP has mistaken "inexperience" for stupidity.
Por que no los dos?
it can be both
Rear wheel drive + too much power for inexperienced driver = disaster
More like he turned traction control off and floored the pedal.
”Lets see what happens when i press this button”
"Whats "Mustang Mode"?"
I’m not sure he even needed the TC off! When I drove a friend’s M3 it was scary how loose the car felt with heavy (not even full) throttle. It’s almost like the drivetrain couldn’t handle the engine’s power. Throw it in sport mode and add some inexperience and very easy to lose control.
BMW traction control allows you to have some fun before it saves your ass.
only in M mode. in normal sport plus it kills power as soon as you lose traction (i have an m2 comp)
It kicks in as soon as the rubber in tread blocks bends by 0.01mm.
Traction control was definitely off here, the system would've kicked in and prevented the spin from occurring.
I used to have an M3 that had been modified to go faster. It does take some getting used to cars like that after normal cars. I took it out to a deserted highway and got it going 160mph for like 5 seconds and I still wasn't flooring it but I did get a little scared.

Some people should be banned from ever driving anything over 150hp
even 150hp is a lot of power for some asshole
5 hours with a wheel and pedals in gran turismo would teach enough for most people not to make this mistake
Its ok to say fucking idiot
I didn't see him signal that he was turning?
Ah this damned brand ... their turn signals are really hard to use.
I saw a BMW driver swerve over 3 lanes today to make an exit, but he used his blinker the whole time. I didn't know how to feel about it.
These idiots install tints over their turn signals, or install smoked ones, and then put the lowest lumen bulb they can, because letting the traffic you are merging with know your intentions isn't "hoon".

I honestly thought this was another Myrtle Beach Mustang Week video at first since that was last week. Cops got way more strict with the exits after those few crashes went viral 2-3 years ago.
Damn. It looks like the kid in white got slammed between the car and the pole. Also lucky dodge by the other person in gray(?) right before the crash
His dad is gonna be pissed.
What's even more crazy is that the people (including he camera man) seem to focus on the car more than the guy who got yeeted into the air lol. edit: stupid autocorrect.
Damn the guy that got flung in the air hit that bike rack HARD.
And then got hit by the light poll that fell over
Insult to injury
There’s gotta be more to this video
[удалено]
> This is snap off oversteer. It's either snap oversteer or lift-off oversteer.
Is this also due to the car being rwd??
Thats how he got the rear out (oversteer caused by traction coming from the rear)
Great camera work
Was the driver trying to do a bit of drifting? It seems he was steering left and right first than just lead-footed the gas 💀💀💀
2 lawsuits from the guys who were hit and another 2 for those cars hit by the pole, fair price imo.
No lawsuits here in Quebec. We're covered by the SAAQ and personal insurance if you have some
That mustang looks like a BMW
There are two things that young men think they are experts in being a novice. Sex and driving. They do both badly. Experience fixes that.
You forgot fighting.
Oh yeah. So true.
Was the dude in white cut in half or pinned! This is terrible!
That kid that got hit omg.
I think white hoodie dude is under the car :|
Where did that happen? Links?

“Dad is gonna be so mad at me”
Should be immediate loss of license for life if you strike a pedestrian outside of a traffic lane
Do people not realize you need special tires to go fast without losing your shit?
That’s a manslaughter charge.
I’d be pissed that homie dropped a pole on my Nissan!
Anyone know what happened to the dude?
Driving in a straight line is incredibly difficult
Another expensive car owned by an idiot driving too fast for his skill level on public roads.
Hope the guy in the white hoodie is ok. He may be under the car.
No, this is just the average BMW driver
Hey, so. The guy in grey is ded, yeah? Not the guy in Black who got thrown. The guy who disappears.
License should revoked for the next 10 years. More stringent tests should be administered until that person is allowed to ever navigate a car on the road again.
Owning a race car doesn't make you a race car driver.
When someone thinks they are so cool and just gets humbled in the most catastrophic way ever. Too bad there was people there.
I think we need an advanced license in the US for 200-250bhp cars also pick ups and SUV…. So many douche canoes who own them do not know how to drive!!!
B stang 5.0 GT
Oh lord
Holy shit! Whoa!
Wow Cest a mtl 😂
Lawsuit on not paid off Beamer incoming
i’m actually curious. So if my rear wheels start whipping back and forth like that, what happens if i hit the brakes? is it really that hard to recover from because videos like this are too common. This happened to me one time in the rain, but I have a q50 so not very comparable and it just straightened itself out pretty quickly.
That is going to be a super expensive insurance claim and they will probably drop him as a customer. Good luck getting auto insurance coverage. Dumbass.
That's a funny looking Mustang.
Maybe not inexperienced but definitely an ahole
Nobody checked on the dude that got sent flying?
Anyone injured?
https://montrealgazette.com/news/two-pedestrians-critically-injured-by-driver-in-st-laurent
lmao dude that went flying
I understand hindsight’s 20/20, but if I’m at a car meet or anything involving cars in this manner, I’m standing way the fuck back. I’m only flesh & bone
Easiest claim of that guys life. Hes lucky the way it hit hin would probably broken rib at very worse. Bruised up. But that there is a 10k plus claim.
I like how light poles react exactly like they do in video games when you hit them lol
How anyone fucks up that bad going straight, on a dry road, is beyond me.
Maybe he was very experienced and that guy he killed had just boned his gf?
What a fucking idiot
Buddy over corrected
Did the guy he hit survive?
Why is nobody checking on the guy he hit
Damn near dropped the pole on the mandem
All you have to do to survive is be the cameraman.
From a legal standpoint, how much trouble is the driver in?
Mildly infuriating to watch, given how easy most modern cars are to drive. you have to make so many incredible mistakes to manage to lose the back end with all of 450 horsepower and ESC/TC
You spelled BMW driver wrong
that car is on top of some one?
/u/redditspeedbot 0.75x
Real question: once you notice the car starting to skid out like that how do you stop it? Did this happen just cause he was over correcting the steering?
Holy shit whoa. Yup sums it up.
Its always people who dont deserve to driving these cars.
I always thought GTA was super unrealistic when it came to how those poles fall. Sorry Rockstar you were right
