Mustang Crashes into Semi, Two Injured - StangTV.com

These 2 are lucky! Time for them to go play the lottery.

Wow. The car actually held up pretty well. I've seen other cars crunched up way worse than that after trying to fight a semi. So much for the airbag sensor.

I was in a total out in a fox once. We rear ended a jacked up truck that was stopped and we were doing about 40... Needless to say, car held up really well! I'm surprised how well these foxes actually do...

This reminds me that school buses in Florida and Georgia do not have a preventive under ride rear guard/bumper. In the event of a rear end collision, there is no way to keep smaller cars like Mustangs from sliding under the bus. The only thing that stops them is the rear axle of the bus, and it is 6-8 feet forward of the bus's rear bumper. It's a sad sight to see the wrecker and Fire/Emergency guys trying to winch out a small car pinned under the back of a school bus.

Commercial trucks by law, must have an under ride bumper to prevent rear end collisions from jamming the car up under the truck.

Unfortunately those under ride bumpers are still not low enough to keep a corvette from wedging itself under the rear tires of a semi's trailer. I've seen som horrible pictures of corvettes that have rear ended semi's.

Being that it was a Mustang, there’s a good chance speed was involved.

Made me chuckle.
Rear end looks intact.

Wow, for a mustang site...they sure don't know their mustang facts

There don’t appear to be any deployment of the airbags either, meaning this must have been a pre-92 Mustang as airbags were mandated in all cars after that.

From what I can see...it's a 1991...that held up pretty good considering

I was thinking the same thing. 1990 was the first year for a air bag in the mustang. Drivers side only.

I'm shocked the quarter glass didn't explode.
