Another round of ICE
Sadly, it looks as if the driver may have been parted out as well.

Even a Mercedes Benz can't overrule physics...into a truck? Mass wins.

All things considered the safety cage looks relatively intact.

The door and roof seem to have been cut clean off using jaws.

Also shows that having the cash to buy a fast expensive car does not buy driving skill or good judgement.

Seems like a high number of these sports figures roll their exotic cars into *****.

He actually survived this incident - great proof that Mercedes-Benz is an ultra-safe vehicle.

I also saw a loaner GLK from my local dealership involved in a head-on collision with a dumpster hauler. This was a LARGE truck with a large dumpster FULL of material. I would say EASILY 5 Tons+ and they were both traveling 30+mph in opposite dircetions at time of impact. The GLK driver walked out - but massive damage to the vehicle. It absorbed so much force that the A-frame over the driver door partially bent - something I have never seen happen in even severe Mercedes-Benz crash tests.

Not to take away the severity of that accident, but does anyone know what rims are on the C63?
