should have anticipated the dog releasing the handbrake and rolling into you, poor driving!

Is that your crash? Everyone OK? What happened?

That photo was from a fatal crash in the USA back in 2019 (do a Google search on the image). I very much doubt the poster was involved.

That is in very poor taste then.

Glad it’s been removed, I searched the image and it came back to a horrible fatal crash.
Don’t know why somebody would post that, I really don’t,

They were either a spammer or trolling. Either way, they are no longer on here.

To get back on topic, this happened to a colleague and friend of mine yesterday during the snowstorm we had up here.



He was parked up and another driver ran into the back of him doing about 60mph. Thankfully he wasn't seriously injured.

Bloody good whack that.

Are the newer police interceptors rated in the same way the Crown Vic was for rear end crash survivability?

That was a fuel tank impact fire issue wasn't it? I'd assume Ford and others have learned from that.

Interesting side note.

I have been through the entire factory in St Thomas Canada where the Crown Vics were made. My uncle was a lead QC Manager for Ford at the time ~ 1996/7.

Was fascinating to see a frame getting built up into a car.

They have a pretty good overall crash rating. The Dodge Charger is very popular over here, especially with highway patrol agencies.

You could be right. I also thought the PI versions of the Crown Vic had an uprated rear bulkhead as a design spec was for an officer and rear passenger to be able to survive the vehicle being rear ended at 60 MPH.

You could well be correct, there were various changes made throughout its service due to the abuse they got and kit carried. Not to mention some portly officers.

Given how hard that car has been hit, there's an amazing lack of damage forward of the C pillar, no rippling or anything!

It was a typo, it was hit at 6mph.

Lucky it didn’t hit the fuel tank...could have gone up....woof!

Dodge do build them pretty well. There was some incursion into the rear passenger compartment, which is not surprising really.

Some very amusing comments on this one!

Thankfully the dog was insured but the folks at Petplan weren't interested.

What you need is a firm of top-rate solicitors. May I direct you to Messrs T, Bone & Winalot .

Ignore this man. Your best chance of a result is Sit, Downe & Begg.

Ok, not a crash but it did scratch my bonnet a bit. This made me jump at work yesterday, trees falling down are loud! The tree surgeon said he wanted it to go the other way. If I'd parked in the row in front my car would have been crushed, so got quite lucky probably, although I want a new car and I'd have had a much more interesting picture to post . My colleague's 1 Series got a nice dent on the bonnet.




Biggest disappointment, somehow my dashcam's "parking mode" didn't capture a tree landing on the bonnet. Can't be a very good motion sensor.

Not mine but amazingly the crasher managed to walk away from this!
