Sobering.......
I used to work at a body shop that had a fleet of tow trucks....once in a while they would haul in a car that had been in a fatal wreck. Makes you re think your priorities and drive a bit safer.......

Wow that's pretty much totaled. Looks almost like one of those big wheeled monster trucks worked it over. Or a frontend loader. A crash and extreme rollover, and a couple end over end would leave behind more salvageable parts. Just my thoughts.

I worked in a wrecking yard for 25 years and saw quite a few wrecks that were probably fatalities.

You could not get enough parts off of it to recoup your 1300.00 dollar investment, besides that it has a Chevy engine. No wonder it could not get out of the way of what hit it.

From the looks of it, it rolled, and no seat belts, and the way the doors appear to have popped open, I'd bet the driver was probably ejected.
Just a lesson, no matter what, seat belts should be added, especially in our trucks. Sadly, our trucks were not built to handle collisions very well.
