agree bad driving from ford driver. but Fords never stopped to well in the first place.
Saw this on facebook a few days ago.

The EK occupants were unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time while that was going on. Like many things in life: There for the grace of god, we go... Metal is fixable, bodies are a little more delicate to mend. Looking at the vid a couple of times I guess it could have ended a lot worse, especially when you look at the angles the Holden went through after it left the road.

That ford forum seems to contain its fair share of armchair experts very quick not to accept any notion of any form of safety in a vehicle of any age and all coming up with their own pet theories from leaking wheel cylinders to rust explosions and the weight of Asian made small cars.... I wonder what would have happened in the same type of glancing blow between two newer vehicles - (possibly) both completely stopping dead, crumpling in on each other while doing the nose down intertwined circling dance around each other while all the safety gear deploying in symphony around them as they rotated on the spot - rather than just glancing off each other and one heading bush looking for a tree or something else to hit or embed itself in.

Sometimes s#!t just happens...

Dave.
