I'm glad to hear he's alright.

You can be thankful that he was driving a Benz rather than a Kia! The car seems like it held together incredibly well, considering the amount of compression in the front.

yea. it was pretty bad. a drunk driver hit him from the other side of the road. R.I.P for the other guy.......sadly....... tragic story... my brother went through hell but at least he is ok.

im prob not going to get another benz. i looking for something for a commute now. ill prob go get a old school subaru 2.5rs or something. Then come back to benz a couple years down the line. He was lucky because he hardly drives me car. He just came back from snowboarding with his subaru wrx and since his car was so dirty he took my car for the night... very lucky

Wow. I'm glad he is ok. That fact that he is is a testimony to the engineering MB did on our car.

Holy ****! Glad to see the car help up well though. If it was another car...who knows.

So what's the story?

Really glad to hear your brother is okay, especially from the looks of that car.

My dad who is now in his 80's has owned MBs all his life. He always told his four kids (I'm the oldest) to buy them for this exact reason. (I'm on my 10th one.) He was in a major accident when a motor home pulled out in front of him while he was going 65 mph. He was driving an S600 at the time and almost ripped the motorhome in half . . . long story short: walked away from the car with just a sore knee and a broken finger.

Pictures are worth a thousand words and knowing your story makes me more confident and comfortable in my car.

05 C230 Sports Sedan, Previously owned an 02 C230 Sports Coupe
I was stopped in a line of traffic waiting for a car to make a left hand turn up ahead when a teenager on a cell rear ended me at about 45 MPH.

He totaled my car (2002 C230 coupe). I bought another Benz because of how the car acted in the accident. I walked away without a scratch.

Please protect yourself from other drivers, buy something engineered for saftey...

well the story is that my brother was off to visit his girlfriend on night. His girlfriend was in Davis for the weekend. On his way up there he got lost and didn't know it. He headed on Airbase parkway and while driving along there a drunk driver swerved into his car hitting him head on. He was lucky to turn his wheel a little so it didn't hit directly into his car. The passenger side chair actually fell off its brackets. Luckily he swerved over a bit. ....horrible story....

he was actually awake right after the accident but his face hit the windshield so he got cuts all over his face and he was airlifted to the hospital right after someone found him
