Just wait till Chevy gets their hands on these photos.

 

Agh, shoulda been in the 2015+ F150 forum.

 

What happened? Any background story? I could post a million pictures of steel vehicles destroyed too.

 

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.

 

I kinda thought that too, but wanted the real story.

 

Yo dawg, we heard you like convertibles...

 

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.

 

No info on what exactly happened.


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.

 

And appears to still have the new dealer tag on it.... Wow!

 

Holy cow! It peeled the sill structure completely away. Wonder if that section was glued or riveted.

 

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?

I heard he hit the guy wire of the telephone pole, and that is why it cut this way.

 

"Honey....I've got a lot of groceries to unload. Might need to open both doors !!!" Glad he was ok.
