Truck Driver Forgets Crane and Smashes into a Bridge

Being that no one was hurt, we can honestly say the funniest part of this video showing a Russian truck driver that forgot to retract the crane sticking up from the back isn't that he or she crashed into a bridge, but the aftermath as the vehicle snapped in half. Nice work indeed.

Just imagine trying to explain this incident to your boss… You can check out the video of the crash and discover where that Modern Talking tape you lost back in the 1990s ended up right after the jump.

Formula 1: Mercedes GP Unveils New W03 at Barcelona

The SL63 AMG may have been a nice surprise, but the real reason why the press was gathered today at the Circuit de Catalunya track in Spain was the launch of Mercedes’ brand-new fighter for the 2012 Formula 1 championship.

Mercedes GP chose the first day of FIA’s second official pre-season test in Barcelona to unveil the W03. Admittedly, it has come late to the party, as the company's F1 racer was launched later than most of its competitors, but the team reckons that this was a good thing, since it gave them more time to hone the car.

Ford Reinvents the Transit with Tourneo Passenger Van Concept

Ford will squash speculation on how the next generation of the Transit will look like with the world premiere of the all-new Tourneo Custom Concept at the 82nd Geneva International Auto Show.

Not to be confused with the upcoming North American market Transit that is a separate model, the new concept van previews the next family of one-ton Transit people movers and commercial vehicles for Europe and Asia.

The production version of the Tourneo, which will be introduced along with the rest of the Transit range later in 2012, will compete against the VW Caravelle.

“One look at the Tourneo Custom Concept is enough to tell you that it will inject an exciting new spirit into the personal use segment,” said Stephen Odell, CEO of Ford Europe.

Suzuki GSX-R Rider Does the Ninja Flip Over Guardrails at Mulholland Drive

Another day, another motorcycle crash at California's scenic Mulholland Drive. Only this time, the rider of the Kawasaki-colored Suzuki GSX-R motorcycle involved in the accident didn't seem to be speeding, though we can't say with certainty what caused him to lose control of the bike.

As scary as the crash looks when he flipped over the guardrails, the driver didn't suffer any serious injuries as he was able…climbed back up to the road by himself and pick up his motorcycle.

Do the ninja flip over the break to watch the video footage of the crash.
