I got rear ended by a F150 going about 35 at a dead stop. The whole rear end was crushed but the passenger compartment was intact. I walked away from that one. The rear helped to absorb the shock of the impact, lessening the shock to my head as it hit the seatback.

Surely a miracle. Good to hear that both were out the car without a scratch!

crazy story. when you said it hit the guardrail head on, did you mean the car was also heading in that direction? Forgive my crude diagram but what kind of angle did the car hit relative to its velocity vector?

Judging "quality" by dumb luck is not the way to go.
dude, shut up assclown. you always have stupid shit to say ALWAYS. not even a kind word. hey smart guy, the lighter cars occupants will always fair better in an accident, why.. cause the car bounces. it doesnt absorb all the impact, like the heavier car (mercedes) in this guys example.

Great of you to help out another person, let alone another member. Glad to hear they are okay too! God truly watched over them if they hit the guard rail HEAD ON at 95mph.

Drive safe guys and gals,

I see people change lanes on purpose just to F* with other poeple

I'm 10mph over all the time and when ever passing... I have to guess will this
slowpoke make a last minute lane change...?

did the SUV stop? even after causing a accident from not signaling when making a lane change

the S should have not been bazing 95 with others that close

That's really sick to think someone would try to cause an accident like that. To the electric chair I say! I'm hoping it was a little old lady who has trouble unlocking her doors, just for humanity's sake.
