Messed up Ex

My bosses friends kids (I think 12 and 16 years old) were driving the Ex when this happened. They were coming around a long corner doing 55-60 and a man in a F-150 fell asleep and hit them head on in the corner. The kids walked away with scratches and many bruises---but walked away. The gentleman in the F-150 lost his life.

Holy Moses. It is built well, but a high speed head-on? Wow. I gues the Ex does have crush zones. Just for the really nasty stuff.

I'm sure your boss is looking for another Ex!. Saved his kids lives. Wow.

Amazing!!! And that's why I drive a Excursion. My only concern is, what if I hit a lowrider? Can you say "Dukes of Hazzard"

The front seat passenger area looks as though it might have sustained serious

damage...... Did the people in the front seat sustain any injuries?? Could you

imagine 2 Excursions going head on? Ouch!
