Good grief, that is shocking. Oh, the poor driver in the Merc. [:(]
I wonder if he/she survived?

RE: Look at this smash up S class

interesting that the main passenger cell is still there in one piece.. debris might have killed them, but the main structure is still there...

[:(]
you can see quite clearly where they cut open the car on both sides with the mechanical "jaws of life".

RE: Look at this smash up S class

Crazy images, however I think that they may be unrelated.

Notice in the images with the car pinned under the truck - notice the "a" post - it's been cut and the engine debris pulled away, for perhaps extrication. You can see the saw at the bottom of the first image and cleaned up in the second.

The ones after that show a different damage pattern to the roof and an engine bay.

I'd venture to say that the person in the first images, survived - probably not doing so well, though. You can see where the roof provided some protection. Also notice the firefighters and medical reposnders pulling the patient. The guy in the red appears to be the medic. People dead on arrival are not pulled so carefully. A quick assesment is done just before the patient is pulled and the guy in the red is continuing the primary assesment and treatments. If there was a passenger in the first set with the truck, which there doesn't look to have been, they probably would not have made it.

However, the person(s) in the second set probably did not make it. Just too much damage.

RE: Look at this smash up S class

Some parts may have been moved/sawed off, but I believe the car is the same; look at some of the parts hanging loose, the location is the same in figures 2, 3 and 4. It's hard to believe somebody could have survived this accident.

Zeaq:

What do you know about this wreck? When did it take place? Where did it take place? Do you know who owned the car? Did you take the photos?

Thank you.

I used an online translator to translate the text from the link Zeaq provided.

Here’s what I got:

Duka felől VashosszĂşfalĂş in his direction two Italian sovereignty Mercedes autocar we had progress , when the bride in front of them advancing tehergĂ©pkocsi overtaking starts. Both prevent the járműszerelvĂ©nyt , when the másodikkĂ©nt advancing Mercedes automobile suddenly she was back the oposite sávba and battle the frontwise incomer Hungarian Mercedes camion. THE automobile 60 year-old-man and 29 age-old female travelers immediately in its life they lost , the 36 age-old driver the fire-brigade Ă©lve succeeded untangle the fracture out of , but the to the hospital transportation during she had died. THE trucks lightening crocked.
