According to interweb reports the truck was driven by a 16 year old and t-boned the smart.
Car held up very well.

Pictures won't come up here at work, have to wait til I get home.
yeah, but does the smart car owner have any self-respect?
Not as much as truck drivers have beer.Quote:

I think the zip-tie holding the wheel broke. :DQuote:

Yep... however I am still amazed at the lack of body damage on the Smart.Quote:

I am also wondering with the lack of crumple how much energy was transfered to the driver. :(Quote:

As light as the Smart car is and as small and narrow as the tires are, it probably doesn't absorb much of the impact before the tires lose grip and it just starts getting pushed around. I'd bet a heavier car would've sustained a lot more damage in the exact same accident.
