Calling a photo fake is harsh? I'm not saying anything about the OP or the friend, I'm talking about a picture. When one is in a business of touching up photos, you tend to be able to spot poor chop jobs. And I'm sorry, when you have a accident as described (trapped between a guardrail and truck) and NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH to be found, you'll have to forgive my skepticism. Wrinkles and creases, that's all this car has. Have you ever seen a car with only wrinkles and crease an NO missing paint -let alone destruction of this caliber? Also, this latest photo -before the car was flipped... why are the tires so much cleaner? You can see the driver's side tire in 2 of the photos.
But hey, they could be real and I'm just a hopeless skeptic. If the photos ARE real, the photog really should look into upgrading their camera or phone.

Also, the picture are not post processed or anything. Her brother took these photos on his cell phone. It is a blackberry bold if I remember so no the best camera.

She was thrown from the car before the the car began to tumble which is why she did not have worse injuries than she did. The rescue crew said she would have had much worse injuries had she not been thrown clear of the car. She also has a broken pelvis.
This is the second friend who has had this happen in the last year on the same highway. Both were thrown or of the car or the would have died. The other car that this happened to a few months ago was a Tahoe and it landed in a river after flipping. That friend was hurt much more severely but is 100% recovered now.
This is why I hate driving next to 18-wheelers

What I don't understand is your thread is titled about the safety of the car and how she only had a broken foot from the accident. Which is just amazing after looking at the pictures. But later you say she was thrown from the car before it started to tumble or she would have had worse injuries and oh yeah she has a broken pelvis.
I don't see how the cars safety did anything for her and it seems to me that by not wearing a seatbelt she was actually lucky because she was thrown from the car.
I am glad she is ok but this thread doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

The reason my family is in an XC-90. Glad to hear she walked away.

PS: Y'all run a great company. I am about to order my 10th set of tires from y'all. The S4 needs new Michelin PS2's. I have always received the tires the next day except for a set that I had shaved and they only took two days.
