Saw this on TOV and thought it was a pretty scary crash to walk away from:

Kinda reminds me of Dave's rear-ending by the drunk truck driver though.

Most of that damage is probably from the roll. Which is still impressive that the cabin structure held up like that through multiple high speed rolls.
That dude beat me by a long shot :-)
Very impressive how well the structure held up in the wreck considering what happened, but I was also expecting a standstill hit + totally demolished car. Wish he shared some more info on the other driver/F150 and what happened there.
Those darn Billy-bobs that drive trucks.....uh...wait a minute.......
Can't believe he was smiling. That really sucks. Such a nice car too.

Quote:A few additional notes, according to Mark: Witnesses stated that the truck that hit him was a silver late model blah blah blah.... The truck continued on after the collision.
Doh!
Wrong of the guy to continue on, but after looking at the pics of the accord for some reason I laughed at the irony of it all. Sorry, guess I had a demented moment.

Yeah you can see the damage in the rear doesn't look terribly bad, it's all the roll damage that makes it look somewhat gruesome. I'm just surprised that a roll at that kind of speed without a rollbar didn't result in death or serious injury. I guess it depends on what speed the vehicle started rolling at.

Yeah I have to wonder if that guy was drunk or something because if they catch him he's definitely going to jail.
