Freak Accident Sees Mazda Pickup Truck Mount Honda SUV
A bizarre accident in Prescott, Arizona has resulted in an image that’s sure to be used for one of those “ever look at something and wonder how it got there?” memes.
On Sunday night, the driver of a white Mazda B-Series told police that she lost control of her vehicle and ended up careening into oncoming traffic after being hit by another motorist in a black pickup. She struck the grey/black vehicle you see in the foreground of the image above, launching the Mazda in the air, which then landed on a Honda CR-V.
Remarkably, both occupants of the Honda, the Mazda driver and the driver of the third vehicle escaped injury. The driver of the black pickup, meanwhile, left the scene. Prescott Police Department is now appealing for information surrounding the crash.
The authorities noted that the wearing of seatbelts avoided what might have been a fatal accident, but the CR-V should be singled out for praise too - it looks to have held up incredibly well considering it ended up wearing a pickup truck as a hat.
In a statement, Prescott Police said: “This is the second accident this week where the use of seatbelts has helped avert a tragedy and firefighters would once again like to remind everyone that the use of this simple device saves lives daily.”
Sounds like pretty obvious advice, but with the seat belt use rate for passenger vehicle occupants sitting at 89.7 per cent in 2017 (according to NHTSA figures), plenty of road users still do without this potential life-saver.

Wow we are now at the point of cars mounting eachother
I’m glad everybody is okay
BUT HOW ON EARTH. HOW DOES THAT GO BY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS
This is why modern cars have bad visibility
I’m glad that no one was hurt but also HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD AND PHYSICS DID THAT SH!T?
Maybe physics doesn’t exist there
I didn’t know that a Honda CR-V could pickup a Mazda Ute
We can say that mazda has came on top of that
Damn these skyactive engines are going a bit too far dont ya think?
On CNN they call the CR-V a ‘red sedan’
uhm… well then…
That man who wrecked the honda should be punished
If you’re stupid enough to not wear your seatbelt you deserve what’s coming to you.
