The Honda Civic has always been a compact sports gene, while the Type-R model required a lot of attention from the driver.
Ever since the early 90s, drivers would overestimate their own abilities and very often end up wrapped around a pole. Such a situation occurred recently in Denver.
According to Renee Gutierrez-Martinez, the mother of the car owner, at the time of the accident the car was being driven by her daughter’s boyfriend, Kevin Acosta. He blamed the older driver, who allegedly took away his advantage and hit him in the side of the vehicle. This pushed him off the road and then hit a light pole.
The published video shows the Civic after the accident, or at least what was left of it. Luckily, there were no fatalities. In the accident, all participants suffered minor injuries, including the driver, who allegedly caused the accident by taking away the advantage. Honda is obviously going to a scrapyard, and some parts, including the engine, could be on sale soon.
