Why a Mercedes?
Just this evening my father was heading home to Crowsnest Pass from Calgary when a car in the oncoming lane wandered into his lane. He swerved to avoid the car, and the car spun. It hit the armco going backward, flipped over the barrier, and went end over end three times down the embankment.
The roof of the car is in rough shape, but the steel cage did it's job. The car is literally a ball of metal now, but the passenger cell is nearly intact. The only injury is cuts from the windows that are all blown out. I talked on the phone to him and the officer on the scene and everyone's pretty amazed at the little car.
He's still in shock and I'm upset that I can't get down there tonight, as the highways are in bad shape between here and Calgary.
I'm having a tough time getting to sleep. Too much worrying. Glad he was in the Benz.
