Ok. Head on at 40-45 mph, who do you think comes out better between the two? You might be surprised. Check the crumple zone on this 04 F150. Amazing. Both front doors opened freely.
Here is the 99 Expedition. Front passenger had to be cut out, and suffered broken legs and fractured pelvis. Drivers seat was ripped from the floor. 04 F150 driver had minor injuries, but in these the drunk usually does walk away. He's sitting in the pokey now.
Frame on the F150 snapped on both sides right under the front seats. Engine and tranny went back and down at a 30 degree angle. No intrusion into the passenger compartment at all.
The Expy engine and tranny went straight back into the dash and floorboard with major intrusion into the passenger compartment.
He jerked the wheel to the left a split second before impact. That is why it appears that way. No skid. Both vehicles stopped dead where they were on impact with a 90 degree rotation for each.
