Guess What Happened To The Driver?
I’m sure you know the stage trick where a woman is sawed in half and lives. Now, try the same with a Volvo and a truck loaded with masses of steel bars. Volvo S40 crashes into truck. Bundles of steel bars crash through the windshield, exit on the other side of the car. What happens to the driver and front seat passenger?
They walk.
At least they did in a freak accident in rural Zhejiang Province in China. As reported by Carnewschina, the driver and his passenger “literally ducked for safety” and survived with minor injuries. With a little less luck, they would be kebab.
Don’t try this at home.
