Incredible pictures! I'm very glad to hear that your father is OK.
The passenger area of the car appears to have retained its integrity very well, considering that all other corners of the car sustained heavy damage.
I know that none of us ever want to 'test' the safety features that MB engineers into their cars . . . but it's always nice to know that they're there.
PS: Those are great looking wheels! Do you know what kind they are?

Unbelievable damage; scary to even look at. Can't really tell, but it almost looks like the wrecked car is parked in front of a body shop. Please don't tell me that some insurance company is going to try to push to rebuild this car. For the sake of any potential future owner, this life saving hero of a C-class deserves a distinguished burial.

so my father says me that it was a long right curve and there was "Blitzeis" (thats fast growing ice fields on the street). his heck was braking out and crash against the middle wall. then it throws him back on the street and then they are 4 "loopings". a truck driver helped my father out of the right driver door because the car was on the left driver door. in a few days i can get the police videos (they have on cause the crash was near a bridge were they have remote controled cameras)

Hello Tebin. Wie geht es dir? I am glad the car sacraficed its' life to save your dad! Please have your dad visit a doctor. Even a small bump can cause a major problem. Just for safety and peace of mind.
That quick ice can get you into terrible trouble very fast. My experience is that German drivers are an order of magnitude better drivers than most Americans, and I bet that contributed to your fathers lack of serious injury. Thanks also go to the truck driver who got your dad out of harms' way. Often another car gets in same ice, and rams into the disabled car, compounding more injuries. That type of truck driver would stop to help even if he did not need to do it.

btw: he says to me if he hasnt new tires he would drive 180+ so it was very big luck
