Damn...
The CL55 cabin is still intact... it shouldn't have killed the MB occupants...
internal injuries? As for the limo driver, yeah, you could see that the cabin got pinched

accident
3:15 in the am on a saturday, 469 hp car on a relatively "open" road, three friends out late...obviously nothing good could come from that. I hope this was not a driver fault on either side, hard to fiigure mechanical failure of two relatively new vehicles, im sure someone's fatigue played a role.

I agree.....the CL looks pretty good for that kind of crash. Maybe they didn't have their seatbelts on? I could see some injuries but I wouldn't expect them to be dead. The limo driver I could see dead!

Seat belt use
That response begs another question. Does anyone routinely NOT wear a seat belt when driving their high powered car? Seems second nature to me and I enforce it for passengers.

I am opening myself up for body shots here but I don't wear a seatbelt for the very reason it is uncomfortable. But after seeing those pics and other such related material, I'll put it on...
