My Friend's taco got hit from the side and flipped! PICS!

So one of my buddies was crossing an intersection and some lady ran the red light and hit him on the passenger side going 50mph.. He luckily walked away from this..

Crazy.. glad he's ok.

Considering the speed of impact it doesn't look too bad at all.

Glad he's ok...If he was hit on the passenger side how did the front get caved in? Looks like a crazy crash.

After it flipped on its side, it slid and hit the signal light pole. I guess bounced off it in a way.. Hes just lucky..

I guess our trucks are definitely safe...

GodDamn! How fast was that ole hag going? And what kind of car was she driving?

Take her license away and slap her with it.

Curious....if the insurance pays you for the vehicle, doesn't the insurance take the vehicle away? Or they leave it for you to get rid off?

My buddy said that she was going at least 50mph, and she was driving a mercedes S-Class.

His insurance takes the car. Cant part it out..

Holy . I hope your buddy is OK.

How did the impacted side of the taco hold up? Did the steel re-enforcements hold up at that speed?

Thank for posting.

That is exactly what I thought about the insurance taking the vehicle....Beachboy's comment had me wondering. I would have taken a few things like a couple of rims before it got hauled away.


On the benzo, it now belongs to the S class for sure....the shit class.
