Quite worrying - those Elise/VX220's are normally surprisingly strong in an accident even if they tend to look a mess due to clam damage, from what I've seen anyway, yet that one has disintegrated.
Doesn't look like a cut and shut at a glance, so I can only assume the impact force was massive (Seat doesn't look that bad mind) - amazing the guy is alive, although it's unclear how seriously he's injured.

Another reason not to buy a '220 then! ![[Image: car-1.jpg]](http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k591/grant-306/car-1.jpg) Member of the 99% warning or you're nothing club 2000 Moonstone 1.8 Meridian - Sold 2000 China 3dr XS - Dead 1998 Diablo 3dr XSI

Looks like the vx220 was hit by the seat at high speed. What a mess though!

Reminds me of this Audi RS4 crash, where the car was opened like a tin of beans- http://www.themotorreport.com.au/352/audi-rs4-crash

wow that seat did an awesome job... the 220 not so much! That is scary though! Wonder what collision actually occurred for that to happen!

Butter my ar5e!
Their injuries, sound pretty nasty but they're bloody lucky.

Bloody'ell, lucky to be alive!! Not that's its funny in the slightest, but it did make me think how pathetic the air bag looks in amongst all that wreckage, its like putting a plaster on the Titanic ! I wonder if it did actually did do anything (or get the chance to do anything)

Doubt it, the impact has torn the car in two.
Report seems to indicate the 220 crossed onto the other side of the road and hit the Seat??
