how in the hell does someone survive that??? Question: are you sure they did? I suppose there might be room on the driver's side for a person but ... damn.
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
Here be dragons ...

"Bradford Township Volunteer Fire Department This morning at 0713 hours BTVFD and an ambulance from the City of Bradford were dispatched to the area of Marilla Reservoir on West Washington Street for a single vehicle accident. Engine 151 arrived on scene to find a truck well off the roadway with heavy damage. Members performed an initial patient evaluation, hazard mitigation and traffic control. The patient was transported to BRMC and the Bradford Township Police are investigating." For now I guess...they rarely ever update articles like this.

Probably swerved to miss a deer. When I was teaching my kids to drive, I always told them not to swerve to miss a deer, particularly on country roads. The damage resulting from hitting the deer was nearly always likely to be less than ending up in a ditch or going into a tree. Thus far, thank the Lord, none of them have had to put the advice into practice.

Bout the only thing to worry about is the deer coming through the windshield or flying into the opposite lane.

I get a kick out of older people looking at a wrecked car.
"Boy, they are just tin. Nothing like older cars. Thgey had some metal in them. Hit a new car with them and there would be nothing left."
I've seen old cars wrecked. The car wasn't too bad. Driver didn't even care. He was dead. Or it rolled on the roof, and pancakes. Only damage
That was bad was the roof and pillars. Driver was dead.
New cars are flimsy. You can dent them leaning on them.
But they are mostly built right were it matters most. Seat belt and airbags, a destroyed car still protects the passengers.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
