Re: Van Gets Sandwiched Inbetween Trucks
And the lesson learned? Don't pull out in front of a truck and expect it to stop for you...

Well... I'm sure glad they "Red-Ringed" for me as I wouldn't have seen it otherwise...  |

Re: Van Gets Sandwiched Inbetween Trucks
Seems no structural strength at all !!   Some cheap asian brand? (It seems to be in china) The truck doesn't goes too fast, seen heavier crashes with less lethal damage caused .. |

Re: Van Gets Sandwiched Inbetween Trucks
I don't think any other country goes to the extremes we do here in the US for safety, a few are close but none as over the top as the US. |

Re: Van Gets Sandwiched Inbetween Trucks
Well the new ultra safe* Volvo V40 (and some others from that brand) isn't an US brand!  *Safe according your own crash-test results. |

Re: Van Gets Sandwiched Inbetween Trucks
I agree the van pulled into the path of the 2nd truck, but it seems to me that the second truck would have smashed into the back of the first truck if the van wasn't there.
