Default Old friends Mustang Split in Half!

This happened about 2 years ago and had a lady at work scan it in for me, since I have it posted on cubicle. My friend's friend was pissed at his mom, then decided to take a road trip. He was going in excess of 100 MPH around a slight left turn on a narrow road. His right side of the car hit some loose gravel on the shoulder. Slid it sidways and the P&S Grain Truck (dulley pictured) smacked him right in the passenger side, the truck was traveling in the opposite lane. He survived, and I seen him walking around. Haven't talked to my friend since he gave me the picture, so I that is all I know about what happened. But good picture:

That was a V6 car also. He just put on a new set of tires on the day before. I don't know how he survived, and I couldn't imagine how the car spit in half just by hitting another vehicle. Just a freak accident I guess.

I remember awhile back about how the Texas State Trooper's had those style of mustangs, and they too had problems with them splitting in half after getting into not a real bad accident. I thought I remember a news article a long time ago on how ford welded the mustang together at the factory.
