Ive seen cars torn in half from side to side but NEVER seen a car ripped that far back from the front! I seriously dont believe hes alive, let alone walked away from that. Thats unbelievable!

Damn, good to hear the safety aspects of the car enabled the driver to walk away, bummer about the car though.

Damn!That is one hell of a pole. It appears to be a steel pole for lights or something smaller than distribution utility pole. I work on powerlines and its rare to see one still up after that much less not even out of plum.

Yes he was lucky in regards to what side of the car was hit. What kept him alive that makes the car so safe is how the force was distributed. If that car didn't shred apart he would have had ridiculous forces applied to his internal organs. I'm going to guess you have never heard of the third impact Bro Inc?
