Please note that this page contains images of crashed vehicles which some people might find disturbing or upsetting.

 

The purpose of this page is to highlight some amazing vehicle accident stories and the people that were able to walk away from them.

Of course, it is not always possible to avoid accidents, so it is important to know how well your vehicle can do in an unavoidable tragic incident. 

All accidents are different, all photos and stories presented on this page are true as given to us by the owner/victim/witnesses, however it is important to know that it is impossible to predict the outcome of a crash,  this page is in no way a guarrantee of safety in a crash, it is simply a collection of examples.

2010 Subaru Legacy and Outback earn Top Safety Pick award
The 2010 Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback are the Institute's newest Top Safety Pick award winners. To qualify for Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of good in the Institute's front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with electronic stability control. Criteria to win are tough because the award is intended to drive continued safety improvements such as top crash test ratings and the rapid addition of electronic stability control, which is standard on the Legacy and Outback.
"Recognizing vehicles at the head of the class for safety helps consumers distinguish the best overall choices without having to sort through multiple test results," says Institute president Adrian Lund.
