Driver Sustains Only Minor Injuries After Car Is Sliced In Two
If you took a look at this horrifying aftermath footage of an accident in Cloverdale, California without any context, you’d probably be convinced there was at least one fatality. But no.
In fact, the driver of the Chevrolet Impala you see sliced in two - 26-year-old Apol Lansang - only suffered minor injuries after a Toyota Sequoia driven by 27-year-old Kevin Fenty crossed onto her side of highway and hit her car head on.
The passenger side of the Chevrolet bore the brunt of the crash, tearing off and ending up half way up a grass verge. Had anyone else been in the Impala, this story might not have had such a favourable outcome.
Fenty meanwhile was thrown clear of his Toyota during the crash, suffering more moderate injuries. A local news report states that “drugs are believed to be a factor”.

That’s cutting it awfully close…
But why did it split in half? That can’t be normal? Was it badly built?
A couple months back the same happened in México City to a BMW 650i, again, the driver was mostly unharmed (and drunk) but the other 4 people inside the car were crushed, sliced, and all sorts of dead.
They were going at 200km/h
That’s not gone well for the Impala’s structural rigidity though..mid-engines cars are designed to break apart like that in case of an engine fire, but I feel like this isn’t supposed to happen.
Secretly a Volvo? Illuminati confirmed.
It was an impaling crash
Sometimes its not your time to go. And obviously it wasn’t this guys time to go
Thank god
bah… it’ll buff out.
