Poor Charger

My brother sent me these photos. . .

Is that a recent wreck? DANG !! How hard do you have to hit something to shear off the entire front end! I wonder if that car had a different front clip welded in, (TERRIBLY) and it broke apart diring a collision.

It's a recent wreck, the guy was going 85+, and the driver has his leg in a cast. That's all  my brother was able to find out.

I'm not sure where this happened. 

[surmanajaja]

driver is alive?!!

very lucky man. maybe the car had some rust where the firewall meets the front sub? I once bought a car that was inspected safe and it was moving around there when driving, when you drove over a puddle of water you could see the front tires tracked different than the rears from the marks..

   exactly what i was thinking , had a front end welded on badly years before , & corrosion has taken it toll

sounds plausable

Holy shit  He may have hit the pole just right and it sheared it in half like that, Unibody cars tend to shear like that upon impact of poles I have seen it before.

It must've been clipped at some point, or compromised somehow.  Otherwise I don't see how it could've come apart like that without the rear 2/3rds of the car looking a lot worse.  Cars don't normally just break in half without bending a whole lot first.

Happens to new cars too

Holy smokes! that guy should count himslef lucky if he only got his leg broken!

Poor Charger but lucky boy ! I can't imagine the shock...

Maybe it had the very rare 'break-away cockpit' option.

 , If it did have a poorly welded front clip, only thing that saved his life.

No kidding. That might as well be an ejector seat. I can't believe he lived without a miracle. If my Charger were in that kind of accident, I would assume the worst.
