Ebo, I'm not sure of that. It had to be totally fatal. What a horrible thing to happen! As Dave said " We are all one slip away from meeting our maker"

You knew there was going to be an accident but I didn't expect disintegration! THAT'S the part that got me.

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.

The video according to you-tube "Shocking video of Nissan Navara road accident in Russia"

The accident took place on the М-7 road in the Petushinski District, Vladimirskaya Region in Russia on February 24, 2012.

Driver of Nissan Navara lost control of his vehicle on the slippery road and slid to the oncoming lane, right in the path of large freight liner. Upon impact, Nissan Navara got literally obliterated by the semi. The obliteration is actually much more severe than one would expect up until the moment of impact. Nissan driver was Alexander. He died on the spot. His funeral was held on February 28 in Balashikha.

It is amazing what 10 minutes on the net can come up with.
