Pics of Sergio Kindle's crash site

by HenryJames on Jun 27, 2009 11:51 AM CDT in Texas Longhorns and Other Football

When we at Barking Carnival heard about Sergio Kindle's accident, we immediately dispatched our staff photographer to the scene to get some pictures. In other words, I drove by this morning and took some pictures with my iphone before I got breakfast tacos.

The accident occurred at 2704 Rio Grande, and the apartment into which Kindle drove is part of a huge complex. Rio Grande is two lanes but one way. The white truck wouldn't normally be there at 2 am so it looks like Kindle hopped the curb and then ran into the building with his left front fender.

I wanted to reenact the scene like Vincent D'Onofrio reenacted the Kennedy assassination in 'The Salton Sea,' but Sailor Ripley was worried that some pigeons might get hurt. PETA fag.

So it looks like Kindle lost control while texting. Or he was influenced by Jefferson West's advertising campaign.

"it's the place to be..."

Apparently.

“. . . so it looks like Kindle hopped the curb and then ran into the building with his left front fender.”

It would be even better if he were travelling the wrong way on Rio Grande and took the building out with his RIGHT front fender.

I lay fresh flowers there every day.

I assumed that’s what the hispanic dudes were doing.

This appears to be a very elaborate frame job. Those guys are clearly breaking into that building.

Clearly, Kindle was opening a tunnel across the Mexican boder to allow these illegals to sneak in.

Before I saw the picture I assumed he had managed to hop a curb and go through a parking lot and then hit an apartment. Those are fairly close to the street an (although unlikely) it is possible to hit that without being trashed on Crown.

The circumstances make it unlikely (2AM, prior DWI, leaving without notifying anyone for 24 hours) and he has some selling to do with Mack Brown if he wants to play in our home opener.

You call that a wreck? You Yanks are such pussies.

Dude….

Why not just throw a JFK/head shot reference while you are at it?

As if you needed more proof that HenryJames is single, now you have it.

Not to be a douche, but on most vehicles it is redundant to say “left front” or “right front” fender. Unless you’re driving a pick-up, you probably only have two.

Back and to the right.

This is all a big misunderstanding. There were some thirsty children in there the other day. I’m responsible. Oh yeah!

Posting while driving on the 101. No buildings in sight. Need to give Sergio some lessons.

just a misunderstanding – I’m sure he was just tried, coming back from doing a little volunteer work with the “Unwed Mothers of Austin”

I just saw the pics. Much ado about nothing. I am not even sure that is illegal on west campus.

True story. My old man borrowed a freshman’s brand new bronco circa 1972 and was doing donuts with it on the drag at 27th and Guadalupe at 2:00 AM until he lost control and drove it into a shoe repair store that was roughly where Burger King is now.

He simply turned the car off, left the keys in it, and strolled over to the Sigma Chi house to sleep it off. There were no reprecussions.

I don’t buy it. You can’t text from a Kindle.

Goes to show one should pay the premium rent and get off the ground-floor. Not much of a hole but the news did say if the tenant was studiously studying and not out drinking it up she would be dead.

Hmmmm …. sounds like 2 lessons found here: pay the premium rent and studying too hard can kill.

There’s another Barker blogger who is a card-carrying member of PETA but he chooses to remain anonymous (hint: he likes to make fun of Wild Westerners by writing the word “dude” alot-he hates that word>DUDE). I thought the video was violent. This is supposed to be a family-friendly blog.

Hey Princes Diana. If it was not for Yanks, you’d be speaking German! The British are such Pussies!!!

Hey Princes Diana. If it was [sic] not for Yanks, you’d be speaking German!

If it weren’t for George Washington, you’d be speaking English.

I drove by the site today, and those pictures are deceiving. The place where he crashed is close enough to the garage entrance that someone who wasn’t paying attention while driving could hit it. Most students drive 30-35 going down that street, and if he was trying to turn into the garage while texting (stupid), that distance would be easy for car to cover.

He definitely could have been drunk, and leaving the scene is questionable, but those who are arguing that him hitting the building is absolute proof that he was drunk are wrong.

….uhhh, I hate to say it being an orangeblood and all, but the real question I have from this picture is how the heck a kid that grew up 2 blocks from the Cotton Bowl in one of the worst neighborhoods in the state can afford this $40,000 truck????
