I once heard about a high speed wreck involving an Oldsmobile built in that time era. Just like the one in the drawing. In about 1964 was when I heard about it happening sometime in the late 1950s. My family wasn't in the U.S. at the time it actually happened. As I had heard the story: Late one summer night in probably about the year 1957, six teenage boys were out cruising well after midnight in a 1951 or 1952 Oldsmobile. The Oldsmobile belonged to the father of the boy who was driving. Eventually, a police officer noticed the six boys in the Oldsmobile were teenagers who were underage and out well beyond curfew. When the police officer attempted to pull them over, the boy driving flooded the accelerator to evade the police officer. This resulted in a high speed chase of around 90 mph. They eventually came to a railroad crossing where the road curved to the left. Beyond the curve, the road was divided by a medium strip that had oak trees in it that were 200 years old. It was also in an area where large, well maintained, old houses were (old money neighborhood). At around 2:00 am, the Oldsmobile, now being chased by two police officers, hit the railroad crossing at 90 mph where the road curved to the left and became momentarily air borne. When the Oldsmobile came back down, the front wheels steered to the left hit the pavement first, whipping the Oldsmobile around sideways at 90 mph. The Oldsmobile hit a guid wire to a power line pole, slicing the car completely in two front from the rear just behind the front seat. The front of the Oldsmobile whipped around into an oak tree hard enough to throw the engine and transmission out 450 feet down the road. The front of the car was smashed up so bad against the oak tree you could only barely tell it was once a car. The back of the car went tumbling 400 feet down the road, ejecting it's three back seat occupants along the pavement. According to one of the police officers chasing them, the noise of the wreck was so loud it woke up everyone from a sound sleep shortly before residents came outside to see what happened. Five of the youths were instantly killed, and one died in the hospital an hour later without regaining consciousness.

I forgot to mention, I also heard that after the wreck was cleared away, there were metal splinters and metal shards impaled into the oak tree. The oak tree eventually grew around them. If that oak tree is still alive today, I'm sure the rusted remains of those splinters and shards are still inside that oak tree.
