MR_Loyale Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yesterday a bridge on Washington State I-5 collapsed into the Skagit river after a semi truck collided with a support. Thankfully no one was killed in the collapse. However in the photos I can see that one of the vehicles that ended up in the water was an orange Subaru Xv. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2330069/BREAKING-NEWS-Bridge-collapses-Washington-state-leaving-cars-filled-passengers-river.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natext6 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 One of the many reasons Subarus are awesome. Car gets hit by a truck or something (that xv has a LOT of body damage so I'm assuming something hit it pretty hard) it falls off of a bridge, into a river, and the passenger is not only OK, but appears to have grabbed his backpack and climbed out of the vehicle without even a visible scratch.

mtsmiths Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The fark of it? The truck was delivering materials for the Keystone tarsands oil pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "truck" hit the bridge not the car. It fell "with" the bridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bard Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah, I think bits of the bridge hit the XV. Not that it's any less impressive... betcha those bits of the bridge were pretty solid. I'd love to hear that conversation between the owner and his insurance company... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
