Very sad situation...3 innocent people dead..Lady in the e320 never knew what hit her...She is ejected out the back glass shortly before her vehicle comes to rest..

Given the destruction of the E for some reason I was expecting the R to look a lot worse than it did.

I think he was pushing 100 when he hit the e320...I saw a chevy cruze get tboned like that at 45mph and it looked about the same afterwards. I am surprised it did not shear in half. The R held up well for sure tho.

I'm guessing the driver of the E-Class wasn't wearing a seatbelt, hence the ejection. A co-worker survived a similar accident in a tinfoil Chevy, albeit with some pretty serious injuries. See pics: Serious Vehicle Accident U.S. 395 Airport Road in Minden - KTVN Channel 2 - Reno Tahoe News Weather, Video -
