It happend at the annual car day in the town of Akureyri here in Iceland a few years back. As a part of the show there was a 1/8 mile race on one of the town's street. The street was supposed to be closed to all traffic, but somehow a car got on to the track from the wrong end just as the bikes were launching. The bike hit the car head on at the finish line and flew into a nearby building and then through a fence and onto some spectators (no serious injuries though). The rider went the opposite direction and hit traffic lights close to the finish line. The lights and the thick steel pole they were fastened on broke down to the ground, but not before they had managed to brake almost every bone in the poor guys body. Amazingly he survived, mostly thanks to his brand new racing armor and good helmet.
This was something I hope I'll never have to see again. Be careful out there. Happy SAABing and drive safely.
