True story is whatever I posted on these threads:

Anyone who says the driver died is flat out lying or misinformed. The driver was the adult son of the Judge owner and was drunk when the crash happened. Two long years of physical therapy just to walk again after two broken legs, two broken ankles, two broken feet, one broken hip, and three broken ribs.

Sad ending for a Judge but there have been many stories similar long before this one. This Judge will never see the road again and will probably be kept intact as lawn art for the current owner (minus motor). I just saw the car less than a month ago still as seen in above photos.
Thank you for setting the record straight. I am glad the driver is ok, but I was really hoping it was a clone. It's a shame to see any 45 year old car destroyed, but a rare collectable is even harder to take.
