My husband was in a head-on too, July 1999. He was in a 1990 or '91 Mercury Topaz that saved his life. Also stopped making a left turn, rear-ended and pushed into oncoming traffic in the opposite lane. Hit by a station wagon, thrown into an oncoming Chevy Tahoe. He was then stuck in the car for 45 minutes with live wires across the car from the telephone pole that the Tahoe took out after hitting my husband head-on. My husband received a broken knee (torn lateral meniscus and tibia fracture to be precise :)) and was out of work for 8 months. One sort of funny part, but definitely not to him at the time, was when his car had finally come to a stop after the rear hit and then the head-on that had turned the car around, he tried to look at himself in the rear-view mirror and could not see himself. The mirror had fallen to the floor but he thought he couldn't see himself because he must have been dead. He also later had a pulmonary embolism in the hospital which was another scarey time for him, again he thought he was dying. He even later, at home recuperating, had the first of a couple of anxiety attacks and thought he was dying of a heart attack. It was a really scarey time for him the whole ordeal. Here are some pics of his wreck:~~~

A friend was just given a 1971 Plymouth Valiant. He had lost his 98 Saturn to a deer a couple of weeks ago.

He hit another deer Friday night with the Valiant. It didn't even leave a dent! There was fur to confirm his story!

I used to go to junkyards quite a bit. That can be a real eye-opening exercise. You see some vehicles that look like they’ve been smashed by the hand of God.
