The man definitely needs help as he was intentionally trying to harm himself and others. Some sort of mental disorder, that is for sure.

Stress, depression, murder-suicides, suicides, and other mental disorders such as bi-polar not being treated properly.

Gees Louise, didn't this guy love his Vibe? I'd grab the S10 if I was going to ram something. All kidding aside, I wonder how the passenger compartment held up to this kind of crash. It doesn't look like it crumbled, as they top wasn't cut off to extricate the guy.Anybody been in a front end collision? Did it convince you that the Vibe is a safe vehicle?

There is another thread with a front end collision where it looked like it held up really good. It was an 09 though.
