Dear god, that is horrendous.. The crash barrier is supposed to stop cars going through it, it's failed big time.
There looks a reasonable gap between the front seats and the dash so lets hope the belts and airbags did their job. Previously..

As horrific as that looks I'm sure if that had been any other car then this would be an accident with fatalities

My condolences and best wishes. Yes, I was also struck by how well the passenger area maintained its integrity. Anyone know the speed of impact?

I believe that one of the victims has died this afternoon. Looking at the car from my 30yrs as a paramedic I'd say that the passenger cell is actually pretty good (taking into account that Trumpton has sliced the roof off) & I agree that on any other car there would be no survivors. South West Scotland & Cumbria was in chaos last night due to this accident. I was in Penrith for a few hours but was heading up to Caldbeck common to camp in my Bongo camper van as I had work to do in Carlisle this morning, oh retirement is so tiring lol lol.

When women say fine a mans in deep doodoo as fine has so many meanings.

There but for the grace of God........

I was in the queue of traffic held immediately behind this crash. We waited for 2 1/2 hours before the Police let us pass. Seeing the Rangie with the roof off and almost split around the bridge support was shocking. There wasn't much of the passenger footwell left from what we saw. Whoever was driving was incredibly unlucky as I doubt you could have done that again if you tried.

It was almost as if it had been launched over the initial part of the barrier and then the rest of the barrier funnelled it into the bridge support. Felt sick to my stomach driving passed the scene.

Credit to the emergency services for doing their jobs so professionally, it can't be easy. Thoughts and prayers with the 3 survivors, it is truly amazing anyone was able to survive that collision.

Looking at it i dont think the engine has gone under but has just gone back and that the footwells, as already said look to be heavily intruded but the rest of the safety cell has done bloody well! I'd guess at least a collision speed of 45mph for that

Makes me shiver a little bit thinking about it

Hope things improve for those that are left behind. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
