One day in somewhere of north Taiwan mountain area,
my FL2 passed a track looked quite dangerous as shown.





Just at the same place, a Ford Escape was not so lucky before long!

Ouch

Looks nasty - glad FL2 made it

Who made the track? it looks like its has a caterpillar bulldozer tracks on it. Im not sure how the ford fell down the hole the track looks fairly wide or does the camera make thing look easier than they are? At work

Emm messy! I guess it will provide some good practice for a panel beating apprentice somewhere

Looking at the earlier pictures of the track it's hard to envisage what went wrong for the Ford driver, unless there was a sudden land slip or he was texting a mate on his mobile!  Life is not a dress rehearsal!

Could be that the FL2 drove past ok, but caused the landslide taking the Ford with it  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

2.5 tonne of Ford on the soft edge of a track, is what went wrong. A lot of folks dont spend the time to walk and ground read when off road. Simple error has cost him dearly.

Just another example of why it is worth while, to have some tuition if you are going off road
