Accident, not depressing

Subie safe.

Offset frontal impact, serious damage, but amazingly, everyone OK.

The driver of the Subaru was not injured.

Article is linked. Cadillac driver was injured, but not seriously. The Caddy looks bad because they used the jaws of life to extract the driver.

Yes, it was totaled, but nobody was injured either. Nowhere near as bad as this one though.

glad everyone seemed to come out ok in the end. Volvos and Subaru in my books are among the safest vehicles out there. volvos are just straight tanks and subarus, well for the weight, size, etc. a lot of engineering must have gone into the "crumple zone" to make it one of the safest auto manufacturer out there. Stay safe people! this heat is really getting to some drivers. almost totaled my car due to a ****in idiot prius merging into my lane on winchester where its still 40MPH limit. play safe!

+1 i visually remember sitting in drivers ED and going through pics of accidents. one that sparked convo among gearhead was a subaru crumpled head to toe between two 18 wheelers. from the pic. no one could tell it was car or if anyone could have survived that! im going to see if i can find that pic somewhere.

couldnt find it. but people get the idea!@
