Maybe this is a pearoast but I'd never seen this one before.

Sharp intake of breath doesn't do it justice.

Nissan Navara in Russia I believe although that is an American style truck that hit them.

The reason why central barriers are so important.

And a reminder that these bully boy wagons are not as hard as the drivers think they are.

Wonder how fast the truck was going? Surely couldn't have been that fast due to the conditions, but its how I'd expect a 100mph truck crash to look!

You'd be amazed how fast people will drive here in the winter. The little pile of snow that builds up in the middle of a lane, and between lanes, people will just cross that with no concern for steering angle, or that they may actually lose traction. Always wary.

Wasn't expecting that. Shocking how the 4x4 was destroyed.

This +1. There are so many countries that don't have central reservation barriers and their accident toll is huge. Russian States, India, and China come to mind. We are so lucky having these on most UK roads. Simply, they save lives.
