Re: How sad is this!!!
Yikes! thats a mangled mess. dont even want to know the back story...
I notice its listed as a 64? I see some details that say its not? I.e. battery under hood And trunk hinges are different.

Hope passenger and driver fared better than the car. A shame indeed.

Re: How sad is this!!!
Being a right hand drive, looks like the steering wheel and shaft went into the driver's head area? Could this have been prevented by swapping with a collapsable shaft from a later model?

Re: How sad is this!!!
from the earlier photo seems to be some windshield impact.

Re: How sad is this!!!
It looks like the intrusion was minimal because the impact was on the left side.rudesvx wrote:Being a right hand drive, looks like the steering wheel and shaft went into the driver's head area? Could this have been prevented by swapping with a collapsable shaft from a later model?
I hope everyone in this car fared well. It actually looks like the car held up considering the impact. Looks to have hit something pretty solid.
A collapsible column might have helped, also just adding a u-joint and kink in the stock column would have helped.

Re: How sad is this!!!
I don't know of the car or the fate of the driver etc.
I sincerely hope they are OK.
Quite a severe collision.

Re: How sad is this!!!
Yes I was wondering who too - needless to say one less car for nationals this year - hopefully not one less driver ... In relation to steering column though I think that was due to the car being stripped of some parts or dash etc so don't think it was a lethal issue !
