    “Traffic accident” is hilarious. Motherfucker, you’re in a desert. There’s nothing around. Its not like you had to swerve into a yard to avoid a cab coming at you in the wrong lane.

    Do y’all see how relatively undamaged that thing is? All that kinetic energy must have gone right into the cab.

    These things are coffins on wheels.

      You say relatively undamaged, but it looks like the driver’s side a-pillar completely collapsed. Normally you’d only see that on a convertible since the roof doesn’t connect the A & D (and sometimes more) pillars for extra strength in a rollover.

      I’d say relative to other trucks it’s serious damage

        Yeah, I wasn’t very clear. I was noticing how the rest of it was practically untouched, and the part you’d want to be strong was mangled. It’s the opposite of how you’d want a vehicle to absorb impact while also protecting the driver.

    Only a swastitrukkk driver would crash into nothing in the middle of a giant empty dry lake bed and need to get airlifted.
