I doubt that the choice of vehicle was arbitrary either.
I'd like to see how the comments would change if they replaced the heavier vehicle with, say, a school bus?
I'd like to see the result of the collision with an identical Honday Civic. You can bet the result would be both small cars destoyed and occupants killed.
I've seen a Hyundai go sideways into a tree at 110. The tree went straight thought the car. Should be ban trees now????
