Some 4Runner Driver's Don't Survive

[fxoffroad]

Sad... (but, errr... 4Runner driver lives) Note to self: don't skim read... some calories are necessary.

"A semi-truck driver involved in a three-vehicle crash that killed a 26-year-old woman in Northeast Portland was given traffic citations after a grand jury declined to issue criminal charges last week. Read more...

according to that article, the driver of the 4runner was male and he survived the accident.


the 26 year old female who died was driving a chevy blazer.

Well, if the photo shows anything it's that the 200# limit on the roof is bull****.

Pretty sure the limit is just for the roof rack which I'm pretty sure didn't make it. But glad to see some of the drivers survived. Looks like it could have gone a lot worse.

Yup - Halilovic and the driver of the 4Runner, 64-year-old Roderick Hawthorne, didn't have any major injuries.

I'm sure it will buff out.

Yeah, but if you purchase an aftermarket roof rack (like the Bajarack Utility) they give you the same 200# "limit".

Gobi's is rated at 300 lbs :biggrin2:

I think stock rails can hold 130lbs.

Fix the title

The title of this thread should be fixed.

 

[brockeverly]

Threads like this make me happy to spend more money in payments, fuel, etc and know that the probability is pretty good that my family and I will survive something as crazy as that accident must have been.

 

[Dusty Driftwood]

It is unfortunate that someone died, but I am glad to hear the person in the 4Runner was ok. I hate seeing stories like this, but they always make me glad we spent a little extra on what must be one of the safest SUVs on the market

Good point Brock....thanks for sharing FX

Looks to be a real tragedy, and could've been a lot worse.

The limit might have to do more with safety. Anything more than 200lbs on the top of a tall SUV is probably not safe if you have to make an emergency lane change.
