Default Totalled Tacoma

Friend of mine totalled his tacoma yesterday, hit the back of a porto potty truck, he was going maybe 75 and the truck was going 5mph trying to turn into a driveway on a back road near my house i was behind him but wasnt going that fast. Here are some pics of it, despite what you all may think he acutally got out of the car himself through the window, and he got out of the hospital within 3 hours. JUst a word of cautionWEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS

yeah i know, when he hit the truck he hit it on the right side and that actually spun the truck around on 3 wheels, he spun him off the road, when i saw it i was like oh great another replay of last week, a friend of mine died last week when a drunk driver hit him. But he just climbed out the window as fast as he could

Thank god for Airbags and Seatbelts. Without the airbags, he never would have it onto to 3 wheels.

It was the steering wheel that killed most people in head on collisions before they were made to collapse. This one sure did its job!!

it wasnt freeway it was a back country road by my house, no cops ever there, and its relatively safe and straight street to do that, just that the porto potty truck was stopped in the middle of the street
