I did check to see if this has been posted before........

I think there must be something missing, like a bigger truck?

Not sure, but I think the driver had a heart attack. I heard it all started on the interstate and ended up here after several impacts.

This is a pic of the H2 that was crashed by the Hummer dealer in Alaska - just from a different angle than I have seen posted before.

And you are right - there were "a few" other cars involved.

I know I've seen this image before. I believe the stories goes something like this...
The person was a dealer on his way home, and had some kind of attack. He actually ran into 3 or 4 other vehicles before he went head on with this pickup truck.
The good part was, no one was killed in this accident.
So yes, Hummers are meant to take a beating!

Thanks! Thats the info I needed, a friend sent me that picture. I replied asking him where the big truck is that the H2 hit first, because that pickup did not cause all that damage. I guess a van and 4 others verify my suspicions.

"Rodney Udd, who owns the Hummer of Alaska dealership in Anchorage, was treated at and released from Providence Alaska Medical Center on Monday after he drove his Hummer through a red light, hit two vehicles and then sped down the road, where he hit two more vehicles, police said. "

And if you read the story, you will find that two of the other vehicles he hid slammed into other cars, bringing the total to seven damaged vehicles.

One of those things that would have been interesting to see happen for sure.

Mac, it is obvious the first and last ones are of the same vehicle. What the Hell happened? Truth only please.

I prefer jeeps that run into Hummers. You all remember this one.

Just finished watching "History of the world." That was a funny one, gotta go rent "Blazing saddle." Forgot about that one, that fireside scence was a classic. I loved Mel Brooks.
Both black photos are same H2, but I think the junk yard moved it. No story, HeeHaw posted them a year ago. The Jeep rearended H2 one was our member AZ. Here it is.

Our member Peter was one of the first one to rolled and totalled a Hummer H2. His insurance company gave him a brand new one, see, you really don't need to shoot any vandal, your insurance company will take good care of you, sometimes, not all the time.

A note about that Alaska accident. The driver is the Hummer dealership owner, H2 ran over and into several others autos before it did a head-on with that truck. The newspaper claimed he had a heart attack. The front end did exactly what it was designed to do, crumbled for safety. See the passenger compartment is in solid shape, if everyone has seatbelt, everyone will be okay. We need to point that out to people who don't know how to read this photo.

The first pic in the post (Alaska wreck) also happened in or about August 2002. It's old, old. You can also see it at several Anti-H2 hate sites.

As for the other wreck pics -- most have been shown before. Mac just likes to save them. This is also one way he keeps his posts up.

Navigator 12-16-2003 12:50 PM

PhilD, I was just trying to find the info on the crash with out spending more than 10 or 15 minutes searching. Meanwhile avoiding the "blatent repost" tag & criticism that usually goes with it.

Some of the people who have been around for a long time have to slow down and act dumb a little. Every organization needs new blood to keep it fresh and vibrant, to replace the old ones who drift away. You have seen it does not mean they have seen it. It is not encouraging to new friends that you kept on jumping in to scream REPOST! I reposted INTENTIONALLY for them.

TX Red, what is the benefit of having a high post count? do tell, I must've missed it. I am soooo stupid, I never thought post count matters ****. Who cares? you do.

Mac, you're not saying you like to see "Hummers wrecked", are you?

Hum2 12-16-2003 02:55 PM

All:

I have been in contact with a local "source" on this accident, (first pic). The police suspect the owner (Anchorage Hummer,) had a seisure (as he has had a history of such). The owner just claims his foot slipped off the brake and hit the gas. There is some dispute as to whether the owners drivers license was under suspension at the time for medical reasons, and is in the court system being resolved. If you ask me...one's foot slipping off the brake would not have developed into a high speed/multiple vehicle collision of this nature. Sorry AH

I have not come across any worthy Hummer H2 crash photos for many months, the above photos are about all I got, and they were mostly a year old. I am not into body parts nor dead people at crime sites, but just keep the worthy H2 crash photos in my hard drive. Anybody else got any to share?

Klaus 12-17-2003 07:39 PM

MAC,

Just pulling your leg about the book. Back in the stone age when I took driver's education in high school, we were required to buy that book and read it.

I work for a body shop I can tell ya the H2 is bullt to save lives but not it's self. it is built much like a geo as far as being able to take a hit and drive away. h2's are just a Tahoe with larger axles and a heavier body.Most SUV's on the road today can take a hit better than an h2 except the expedition or navigator wich are awfull as well. That why you got insurance though right, you walk away insurance pays you off.

Please display your ignorance somewhere else. There are no major components that's shared with the Tahoe.

The chassis is a three-piece, fully welded, boxed ladder-type frame with many hydroformed components. Some chassis and steering components are shared with the 2500-Series Suburban and the 1500 Suburban, but most of those shared parts have been heavily modified.

Among the shared and/or modified items from the 2500 Suburban are the H2's front third of the frame, the steering system and basic brake system. The rear third of the H2's frame was adapted from the 1500 Suburban. The H2's center frame as well as the flat crossmembers that are used around the transmission mounting area are all unique to the H2.

I assume you are not concerned at all with your credibility with such asinine statements. Do a little research on something before you try to talk about it!

Great, a bodyshop guy, show me some worthy H2 wreck photos. Prove it.

argonaut 12-18-2003 01:53 PM

here is my big question, what the F is wrong with tahoes? They are nice trucks. Obviously they can't do what an H2 can offroad, but why do stupid ignorant Trolls always come in here and say it's a glorified Tahoe like it is something bad. At least it isn't a glorified Jeep, or a glorified Toyota. Tahoes are nice, and not cheap either. So GM shares parts and or chassis frames. BFD. I really could care less. My truck is still much cooler than yours at the end of the day. Plus a hell of a lot more comfortable. I would like to see a stupid jeep hit a side angle that our Hummer can. Oh wait, they roll over. Oops. There is a reason the military switched away from Heeps. Hmm, if H1's are OK,, and an H2 can go just about anywhere an H1 can (ask H1ers that have wheeled with h2s) then H2s must be OK too, regardless if it is a GM product. These uneducated Trolls are lame. Forget about wheeling with you. I only wheel with edumacated folk.
