I don't know how you could tell that was an Impreza much less a WRX...all that was left was scrap. Note to self: Subaru is safe.

I spent 3 weeks in Dauphin County, driving up and down I-83, and this REALLY paints a picture of how crazy it is with the tractor trailers... <shudders>

Wow. Thats one lucky fella. Still sucks to have gone through that... I bet it cuts a few years out of your life when you are scared to death.

In Los Angeles, the 710 Freeway is about the same - absolute nuts. That man is incredibly fortunate to walk away from that.

Wow, I kept trying to figure out how there was a gap big enough for him, and how he did not just get absolutly crushed. I have been rear ended once, and that jolted me in my car, how he didnt just get jolted to death blows my mind. If you should me a picture and told me someone survived, i wouldnt of believed it.

The rear impact happened first, and was of great enough force to cause the driver's weight to break the seatback. By the time he went under the truck in front he was lying just about flat on his back.
That's the only possibility I can think of.

Dayuuuummmm!!!!
 I can't believe that guy was still alive let alone able to walk away after that crash. I guess that guy is now running a negative balance in his karma account. |
