I would say the opposite, probably rear ended off center and shoved into the next lane and then t-boned.
Driver’s door had to be pried open, but unlatched. Driver side rear door very likely works normally hopefully no one was in the rear passenger side or passenger front, but likely only serious injury to legs and arms. Not that the sear (and the floor) rose but stayed upright. Having personal experience with crashing a Benz, it’s hard to believe how little one is injured in a really bad crash in one. Very little room left in mine at the floor pan (A pillar shoved in at least 18 inches), but the only damage to me was muscles spasms in my back, bruised nerves on a rib, and glass driven into the back of my arm. A friend of mine worked as an EMT in California — said you always knew who was in the Benz in an accident, as they would be standing on the side of the road when the EmTs got there. Very very rare for all the doors to be stuck. > On May 19, 2022, at 8:51 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Looks like t-boned and rear ended at minimum then maybe hit again.
