Hello all,

I thought i'd make a short post about my expirence involving a MB in a serious accident.

I was traveling in the right most lane of a 6 lane road, when a lincoln town car heading the oppisite direction tried to make a last moment left turn over traffic into a side street. Well there wasnt any time to react or avoid and I ended up hitting him at about 40 MPH. I hit his Passenger front wheel with my driver side front end.

We hit with enough force that I sent the town car up onto a curb and into some bushes. Regardless... I was still recovering my wits from the airbag impact as the MB rep. came on over the car speakers asking if I was ok. She was great! She conference called me into my family so I can let them know to come get me, she stayed on the line until EMS arrived.

I walked out of the accident w/ only minor bruises from the seatbelt and airbag.

The saftey features of the car do indeed work as advertised! I am proud to say I own a Mercedes-Benz.

I have posted some pictures in the following album:
