Yeah, that looks terrible. Hopefully, the driver walked away without any serious injuries, but looks highly doubtful. I actually hope it's no one on here that owns that car.

Benz takes safety very seriously... I feel very safe in my car. I really hope the driver is ok. This could have been any one of us.

Hope the driver and passengers walked away.

Looking at that side impact, can you imagine if it was a fiberglass vette or a Honda.

maybe would of looked something like this... it all really depends on the speed, the angle and the mass of what it is impacting with... newtons 2nd law f=m*a... the bigger and faster the object that is striking the other object, the greater the force

I agree. Like what I said in my first reply, but if we look at all the photos, fiberglass shatters on the impact and metals bent.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Hopefully the survival space has been maintained. The B pillar does not appear to be involved in this case. Around 5 years ago, I combed through iihs, nhtsa, and various ncap data on various cars in this class and I found out that W212's structure has the least amount of protrusion into the cabin from a side impact. The difference might not seem like much, but sure will make the difference between surviving or bleed out from a pelvic fracture. Another reason I ended up with the W212 rather than similar offerings from Audi and Bimmer.

Nasty indeed. Hope that driver/passengers were OK. Remember this RS6 Avant crash... guy was OK... thankfully no passengers, b/c they'd have been f'ked.
