Yeah, and I would hate to see the result of a crewcab Silverado's "marginal" rating for small overlap frontal crash testing like that looks like. Looks like the hit was right in the headlight.
Looks like a guy-wire or something that actually managed to slice... if it was an offset impact I would think it would have crumbled that section as well..
Like Xwild suggested, it looks a lot like it hit a guy-wire at high speed... A car did almost the same thing when hitting a guy-wire here recently. It was really ugly and it was amazing they lived.
Hey guys. I'm a brand new user here. Lots of great information some I'm mostly just reading and learning.
Wonder if the emergency crews pealed that side back to get in. Might be a possibility.
Still connected to the front quarter panel?
They most likely glanced something and the nature of aluminium to do this set in. I would in no way say youre safer in a steel or composite body in the same crash. This is just the nature of this material.
I read about this on the Facebook 6.7 site, the guy that was involved walked away. It was first thought that the first responders did it but turns out he did hit a telephone pole @ 70 MPH, he was not wearing a seat belt and walked away with a black eye. Lets see how GM / Dodge would do in the same crash?
