Just about an hour ago.. a Mercedes has collided with a semi-truck. It was dragged under the semi and been beat up pretty badly as you would imagine. The radio guy said remarkably its not a fatal accident... thought I would share this news.

If I find pictures of the scene... I will post them up.

I take it you never found any pictures to post here?

it's not really the bad news some of us are after, but rather the survivability of our cars in such accidents - sort of gives us some justification for all that time and money put into our cars to keep them going - my Cdn$0.02

Rick, have you been on the edge of your seat waiting for those pictures for 2 years?

Thanks Paul! I just knew it had to be a W126, since the guy survived the accident.
