Ouch

Check out this wrecked Prius. Does anyone in TX know about this accident? From the outside it's hard to imagine anyone could have lived through it, but when you see the interior pics, it looks like the passenger compartment did fairly well.

Yikes... did a semi fall from the sky and land on it? I hope the driver made it out alive, but it sure doesn't look good.

I'm in TX but nowhere near Brownsville, so no, I don't know anything about it.

ehh.. i don't think anything landed on the car. It looks like the roof was cut off to free the occupants. You can tell since the roof is concave and you can see the headliner on the top. Maybe it was a multi-car pileup?

I was thinking it didn't look too terrible. The roof was clearly cut off and the passenger compartment is almost completely intacts. Front end and left quarterpanel damage suggests it hit something in front and spun to hit the rear or was hit in the rear and force the collision in the front.

I bet they're all OK.

If you scroll down on the website above the first picture it says,
"JTDKB20U457

This parts car came from near Brownsville Texas. No information came from the insurance auction about the collision."

Oh see that's the problem. It's not in bold. I simply can not see text not in bold. <_<
