On this past Wednesday, my wife was in a car accident. An idiot in a Mercedes E550, on his BlackBerry at the time, went right through a red light and hit my wife. Her 2001 Mazda Tribute rolled a few times, coming to rest down the road on its roof. Fortunately a couple who lived in the apartments at the corner got her out before anything happened.
Her Tribute, though it sustained a few dents and bent axles, was in remarkably good condition. The police and firemen were amazed that she was able to walk away, so it probably saved her life.
