Smart ForTwo Gang Banged – 1st by 5 Ton Delivery Truck, Then By Van

Posted by Admin on May 21, 2008

AutoAlerts Reader Jonah has sent us this story of the ultimate expression of Smart ForTwo v. US North American roads. While the Smart ForTwo was peacefully sitting at an intersection, it got a bit of a surprise in the back end — a very large truck was interested in occupying the same space at the same time as his Smart ForTwo.

The Smart was hit from behind by a 5 ton delivery truck which served him like a tennis ball across the intersection to a cube van! Amazingly, the Smart ForTwo driver walked away with only minor abrasions from the airbags, and was quoted this morning as saying that he’s “just a little achy”.

Is a Smart Car safe? You can judge for yourself, but I think it faired pretty damn well seeing as the front windshield didn’t even break.
