On July 11th I lost my daughter to a collision. Thank you for posting this video and helping me to understand the speed and force that she was dealing with and why she could not have survived the crash. I know it sounds odd, but it's comforting to have a better understanding of what must have happened to her.

I almost had a head on at 60mph last night. Some idiot thought it was a wonderful idea to overtake a lorry just before a bend, which I'd just gone around. Safe to say I've never stood on the brakes so hard in my life. You could smell the burning rubber afterwards. I came here to see what would have been the outcome, had I reacted much slower, and it ain't pretty. I'm lucky. You might be impatient but, even if you stay behind, it will only add a few minutes to your drive. You never know who could be at the receiving end of your recklessness. Drive safe everyone!

Was in a head on 55. Collapsed lung and numerous other injuries. Have a year of recovery. Shouldn't have lived. Any of us. Driver and passenger was okay, I was hurt the worst.

I was in a head on collision at 55 MPH and I survived with a broken leg and numerous other injuries. Scary as fuck.

I was 27 weeks pregnant and survived a 55mph head on collision my car smashed and flipped. Not only did I survive my injuries were only a dislocated hip, concussion, sprained neck and busted face. Baby was fine and other driver was uninjured. Now tell me how in the hell did we all walk away from that.

I was in a 60 mph head on wreck and somehow survived along with my mom and the driver in the other car. Absolutely crazy stuff. Broke 14 bones. Was in the hospital for a month. Sadly lost the passager in my car and the passenger in the other car passed. My car was a 2016 model so that’s pretty crazy

Well, when you have two cars from the George Washington era, you can expect no survivors.

Now lets see a 2018 Volvo XC90 vs 2018 Audi Q7 at 60 mph.

Almost got in a crash like that just 5 hours ago, that would have killed at least 3 people Still can't believe it almost happened, and that it was because of me and my impatience One should never think that they are not the kind to drive like an idiot and provoke accidents. That was still true for me this morning. The stupidity is always right around the corner, waiting to get a hold of your soul and use it for evil. We all surprise ourselves playing with death someday. For the ones who survive it, the real honor can only be claimed when they learn from that mistake.

I was in a head on crash a couple years ago in my 2014 camry. a drunk driver in a 90s f150 on wrong side of road going 70 hit me i had time to brake and was going 50 when we hit. He died on impact i broke tibia, dislocated hip and broken wrists, ribs concussion. i still have back pain.. i believe my camry saved my life that day. if i was in any older version id be gone. It still haunts me and i drive in the far right lane and go 65 always looking far in the distance.

Holy shit, the bmw went through the Volvo like a hot knife through butter, damn.

best thing to do is drive safely and avoid the accident at all costs

I showed this to my classmates a couple of years ago, i hope they took notice

With all the road rage out there people have to be more careful now more than ever!

This is scary to think about because just last week I was almost in a head on collision at 55 mph

Cleary the BMW was speeding!

Classic BMW driver

I survived a head on 45mph collision in my Ram against an International commercial box truck!!! I broke both my legs and fractured my skull!!! It's been over 8 months since the accident and I'm still not right... I should have died with my truck but somehow I lived!! Man I miss that Ram truck!!

My best friend died in a collision similar to this but it was at 75mph. They said the force was equivalent to hitting a brick wall at 115mph. She was 16 years old

I don’t know how me and my roommate are still alive…. My best friend was driving and didn’t make it. Instantly killed by an 18 year old kid… find myself wanting to call him still sometimes and then I break down and cry uncontrollably for a while. Chad Michael Tidwell died December 27th 2021, a total fucking legend. May his soul join mine when my time comes.

My uncle about a year ago survived a truck going 50mph, but he wasn’t in a car, he was walking. The only thing that saved him was his weight.

I was just hit head on at 60mph by a drunk driver in a 2011 chrysler 300c and we were in a 2003 ford focus. My Driver lived but flown cricital condition, passenger died, and me and my freinds sister in the back substained injuries but im still alive.

"No survivors?" If you were sitting in the back of either car (with your seatbelt on of course) you would have stood a chance!

A reminder that humanity can pretend it is something it isn't all it wants, but the laws of physics and nature will always prevail.

BMW is E34. It was sold from 88-96. The other is Volvo 940. Made from 90-98. So these cars are very old.

They had to use the BMW's, the Jags didn't start.

@upbeatmantis86 Actually 2 cars both at 60 mph headon is the exact same as a single car going 60 into a brick wall. Mythbusters did it.

These are the tests EURO NCAP should do, even better would be this same speed, off centre, on a corner as that actually happens on country roads when a shitty vauxhall understeers wide into oncoming traffic. The silly deformable barrier 30-40mph tests cars are designed for are bullshit, you have to be a terrible driver or very unlucky to have crashes like that. I expect a Tesla Model S / X could survive one of these tests.

thats pretty good quality for a 2007 video

This is actually scary Because where i am the speed limit on a normal road is 60 and on highway it’s 100

Today, we were going from ross-on-wye to weedon bec in a 2014 renault captur (with a 5star euroncap rating) and the speed limit was 60mph and the road was quite narrow and no sign of anything a bit busy, just going round the corner at 60mph and CRASH INTO A PARKED CARAVAN WITH LOADS OF PEOPLE AROUND AND IN IT! WHY DO THAT AND IF SO MOVE UR VEHICLE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BEND AND PUT A SIGN!!! Luckily, nobody was killed, nobody was seriously injured in the renault and a couple of people were injured in the land rover but came out of hospital within 1 week.

I almost got in a T bone and I’m so grateful the cop was there and God was watching over me

1:52 BOOM! A kid I knew and his mother died in wreck like this. Only they were going about 65 mph and they were in a Chevy Impala and they collided with a big Ford truck. Sad situation he was 20 years old at the time.

This is really chilling .. we all drive fast at times and just imagine much lighter and newer vehicles are likely crush even worse than these older models, particularly the Asian ones. All the same this is probably the best crash test I've come across on the web

That BMW was going nearly 80MPH. You can tell by the speed gauge. It was also accelerating aggressively which is a key point. It was not driving a consistent speed- it was accelerating and the punch through was at about 90mph worth of energy. It's a big difference if you compare it to someone doing 60mph and hard braking down to around 50mph at actual impact. Anything over 10mph can be trouble but just saying- need to be more accurate in your title.

The BMW looked to be doing 75-80mph really... But then I supposed thats realistic too! Truly shocking footages! I'd be interested how much stronger the newer BMW and Volvo cars fare up, although even in the newest car you have no chance at 140mph closing speed. Your head would probably be torn off your spine! :-o

PSA, stay out of the express lane at 3:00 in the morning, or else, you'll be like the beamer in this crash test if a wrong way driver in a Volvo hits you

Beautifully horrific destruction, especially that slo-mo.

I'm a new driver, watching car crash videos online in an attempt to humble myself. I want to be less cocky in traffic, and so far my method works wonders. Be careful out there my friends.

I wonder if the ppl that die. instantly in a head on collision feel any pain? or they just see. bright light and gone....

well atleast we have this creepy music to listen tooo

My neighbor head on at 70 legs were sticking straight up through the sunroof my brother identified the body! Let that sink tf in

I was in a crash at about 30 mph to a car that was going around 40-50 mph. The car itself was totally fucked. In fact, both of them.

i bet you that if that this was a standoff the volvo would still be able to drive home safely with enough petrol

This is why I drive a lifted heavy duty truck with road armor bumpers.

my older brother got hit by a car going 60 when he was 12 then got hit again by the mom of the kid who my other brother beat up 10 years ago in elementary school because the kid my brother beat up used to try to bully him 10 years prior to my older brothers second accident which happened when he was 17 and that kids mom who hit him was on heroine at the time and then when he was 18 he got brain cancer and he still survived and hes walking normal talking normal till this day at 26 with a kid and a wife now and from the very first accident he had when he was 12 the doctors told him he had a 1% chance to live and if he even did live hed be a vegitable however he did get brain damage from the first accident and the brain cancer but you wouldnt even notice it because its just headaches

Great! Never drive an old car and never drive more than 55mph on a two way road!

Today I was driving my dads Nissan Altima with my friend around a curve in his 25mph neighborhood going 60+ MPH... I lost control on the turn and overcorrected, resulting in a fishtail and the rear of the car wrapped around a light pole. I got charged with reckless driving and criminal speeding. my day sucked

Almost had a similar accident to this today... I was going 60 and someone crossed a double yellow, also going 60. However, I was driving a Land Rover lr3 and he was in an Altima. I don't know if that would have made a difference though.

3:57 Scariest part of the whole damn video for anyone who's been in this type of wreck.

Moral of the story: drive Tesla Cybertruck. Excessive g-force may break your bones, but at least it won't fold like it's made out of foil.

Sounds just like a 12 gauge blast... this is why I hate driving on two lane backroad highways especially at night... damn

August of 2021, our 2021 Rav4 Hybrid collided with a 1996 3/4 ton pickup at at least 60 miles per hour. We spun. Our airbags were all deployed. We were badly banged up and flopped around like rag dolls. He had no air bags. He was bloodied up and banged up. The pictures of our Rav4 horrify me. Miraculous physics and probably a lot of luck that we all survived. No we are not going after the family for money. Nations brag about how advanced they are. Still putting out vehicles with safety issues. People still drive drunk, fall asleep, talk on the cell phones, stare at each other, experience road rage and all that stuff that makes life suck for millions that die every year in accidents. Slow the bleep down! Be 100+% ALERT and ready when you get behind that wheel! No distractions! Watch your speed and the other vehicles and people around you. Take care folks.

Give me a can of WD-40, some channel locks, and 25 minutes... good as new

I was half expecting Jaws to randomly appear from that music..

Was passenger in a car when we barely T-boned a guy (almost head on) at 45mph. Surprisingly my brother and i left the ER just a few hours later. The person who was at fault (I don't think they were being dumb when they pulled out in front of us, they presumably had a stroke) was in the hospital fot a few days but everyone was alive. That was terrifying to be in and this was terrifying to watch. Why am I watching this? Well... Really it's to relax and realize accidents are bound to happen to people, though now it's just a simple and brutally honest reminder.

I lost a friend 4 days ago head on crash wrong way due to alcohol. She was drunk. I drove drunk at 70mph against traffic on highway before I realized. Good I found exit 2 miles away. I remember trucks coming at me. I was so close to death. That was 3 years ago. I was drinking that night. I still remember the horror. I stopped drinking what so ever. But she didn't and now she's dead

I fell asleep at the wheel and hit a truck stopped at a stoplight at around this speed. Fortunately, the truck was lifted so my car went under the bed and pushed it up. Extra crumple zone 🙏🙏🙏

occupants of both cars would be instantly killed

I'd like to see the same test with modern cars to compare the results.

So much for volvo's and BMW's being safe

Not a stationary car but a solid non-moving wall or giant steel block!

They've put notorious criminals inside...

Nice BeamNG Dive Video

🥶 OTOH: look at what happens at 800mph...

I survived a 60mph head on crash. I was driving a 1994 F-150. Spent 11 days coma.

Yet people still drive as if they're not in a death machine.

seeing results like this kind of makes you glad not be using these vehicles at all in some ways.

I remember crossing through a highway with another person in front of me and we had a green light and suddenly at the corner of my eye I see a red vehicle pass the red light to our right he was going at 65 mph for sure, the lady in front almost got hit just a few meters off the speeding vehicle.

This is why we need public transportation.

"If My Calculations Are Correct, When This Baby Hits 88 Miles Per Hour, You're Gonna See Some Serious S***.”

"What was here that isn't there anymore?" "Well, you see, there used to be a car where this chunk of pavement is now visible."

There could have been one survivor on either car: back seat, and side opposite to the crash.

logic makes sense...my condolences to you and your family. your memories of your daughter will keep you strong.

Impact sounds like a dual blast from an 8-gauge shotgun... Would this FIfth Gear consider facing off the new BMW F10 against the latest Volvo S80 under similar conditions?

1:20 BOOM! Damn! Wow!

the bmw was tipping 80mph on impact

God is good alot of people prayed for me I'm so thankful to be here

Princess Diana was killed when the the Mercedes was traveling at 65MPH 😞😢, also to note there was a white fiat (if not wrong on the model). There was white paint found on the Mercedes. Later the white fiat was found dumped and the owner committed sucide🧐🧐🧐🧐

remember two cars traveling @ 60mph = 120mph..

I WANT A RC CAR LIKE THESE :D

Yer about 2 years ago I was driving 60mph, going round a slight bend when Some idiot decided to overtake another car coming towards me. There was nothing do but make a sudden swerve to the left and drive into some bushes on the side of the road, as both sides of the road were blocked with cars! . It was such a quick reaction. The other 2 cars did not react only me. I drove straight through the. Bushes and swerved back on the road completely fine without any damage to the car. That jackass overtaking was going anywhere from 80mph to 100mph. Don't overtake.... But... What is wrong with these people overtaking on bends it's disgusting. My reactions are terrible and... I am a Christian. For me, I can only say that God gave me that instinct to dk that.

There were... NO SURVIVORS!

And that's one more reason I don't drive like a maniac anymore. Cars usually aren't designed for impacts above 45 MPH, so when you go 80+, and slam into a wall or stopped vehicle...BYE BYE

Wonder if I could pick one of those up at Toys-R-Us..

I got hit by a 7.5 ton truck head on in a 2016 golf walked away with bruising 🙏🙏 65mph vs 40mph

And RC system was set up by Dr.Emmet Brown

60mph + 60mph.. thats like knocking a concrete wall at 120mh (200kmph).. i doubt they weould be any survivors if it was real.. unless ur in the bonnet ..

I can’t believe they just wrecked that bmw

I just had a 50 mph hit today and it’s nothing like the movies bruh. I thought you could see inside and what’s going on but everything was just black and blank.

i got into a head on crash going 55 but i have no memory of the accident. so i think this is as close as i can get to remembering

Wow!!! I almost was envolved in a head on collision saw the car in front of me get off the the road then next thing I see is this car coming right at me I’m doing 50 mph don’t know what the other driver was thinking driving the wrong way some how I managed to make a hard right luckily noting was there to crash in to I shaking all the way home... don’t know if it could have been fatal or gotten real injured

Jesus christ I expected the cars to hold up better ngl, they fucking folded like paper 😳

Impact sounds like a dual blast from an 8-gauge shotgun... :=/ Would Fifth Gear do a similar faceoff test between the latest F10 BMW & Volvo S80?

it looked like bmw went through that volvo for the fist time ) nice wid

those cars could have provided many spare parts. what a shame they had to ruin them like that. i wish they used crappier cars instead

My 1979 Lincoln Mark V has a 6 foot hood.

all this tells me is a BMW is built like a damn brick to rip through that Volvo.

1:04 a ghost

So, this is what rich people do to have fun...
