That's almost as good as the Mini that T-boned the suburban and made it flip without much damage.

There are so many variables including chit luck.

I t-boned a car doing 50 on my Yamaha many years ago and walked away.

That's not to say Honda doesn't build a very safe vehicle though.

So, sounds like the F150 driver just drove away after causing an accident that could've resulted in a fatality. Nice.

100 mph - 74 mph = 26 mph impact. The real story is at some point the Accord rolled over but everyone survived.

I'm not sure if it says more about the Accord or about how an F-150 caused such carnage w/o disabling it. Built Ford tough!
