There was an accident in the paper the other day here where 4 high school girls were on their way to school in the morning. An old woman pulled out onto the roadway without looking, & the driver of the Aveo swerved to avoid hitting the old lady. The Aveo driver crossed the highway & hit a tree at around 35mph. All occupants of the Aveo had on their seatbelts, but all four were killed. I think I`ll keep driving my gas guzzling four wheel drive Dodge pickup.

I'm not saying you're not telling the truth, but that sounds pretty impossible. Maybe 1 or 2 could die from that, but that's a really slow impact to kill all 4. Maybe the speed was reported incorrectly or something was left out of the story.

Ummm, not telling the truth, really? Im just reporting the story as it appeared in the local paper. There was a pic, & the only way you could tell what that sardine can was, was by looking at what was left of the trunk lid which was bent forward into the trunk area. Drive whatever you want. There are folks who think that the smart car is safe also

Like I said... I'm sure you ARE telling the truth and recounting a story as you read it. I'm just saying the facts in the story had to be wrong. A 35 mph crash doesn't crunch an Aveo into recycled metal. The physics just don't work. That's the newspaper or police's fault, not yours.
