Wow, that's a crash. I assume the kids were in the back seat and glad to hear they were uninjured. Hope Mr. Grange recovers. Cars really are safer today than they've ever been. Even the compacts.

I wonder if the force of impact threw that door off its hinges or if it was the jaws of life.

He was injured, but it looks like the cabin area hardly buckled and the kids weren't hurt at all. Hope he comes through okay.

Is it me, or does the initial impact look like the front quarter? That might explain the rear quarter damage behind the wheel-- the car spun around the point of impact and hit the Mercedes going by.Unfortunately, I experienced something similar from that Vibe's perspective many years ago. Since then, I hope to do my spinning at the fairgrounds, thanks!
