As I would expect, crushed like a can. Those things are no match against anything larger than it. That's the biggest reason why I will never drive one of those jokes.

Do you know if the driver was inside the car at the time?

Only thing smart right now would be for the owner to be sure to recycle it.
What kind of deposit would it have? Cuz ya know here in Iowa you only get 5 cents for a crappy pop can like that.

According to information from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office and various readers, the accident pictured above took place in May 2009 in Harvey, Louisiana, and involved a Ford Escape SUV, not (as is commonly reported) the smaller Smart Car.

Shoot. You mean sometimes I can't trust what people send me on the internet? :No1:

Still a cool photo though.
