Yesterday I came upon an accident at an intersection close to my home. The Honda Accord (Possibly 2000-2002) had severe front damage and no doubt is totaled. The other vehicle involved in the accident was a 2007 Chevy Tahoe. I could not get a close look but it looked like the only outward damage was to the front bumper. There was about a 6 inch gap between the bottom of the grill and the top of the bumber on the passenger side. No serious injuries but one driver had to get a ride home and the other probably continued on to the mall. I had no doubts about the safety of my Tahoe and that it is a solidly built vehicle but I'd imagine the driver of the Honda might be lookin at Chevy Tahoes when they get their insurance money.

 

Sounds like one of Newton's Laws prevailed again.

 

I had a kid in a new Ford Focus run a red light and hit my pickup behind the rr tire..............After I stopped and looked back I couldn't believe how that car was destroyed, pieces were all over the intersection.
My truck had the bottom 12 in. of the rear fender bent under

 

Last year my wife was in an accident, a 90's Buick ran a red light and T-Boned the Tahoe. Most of the impact was absorbed by the front wheel. Totalled the buick, a little sheet metal damage and a new wheel for the Tahoe.
I am very happy with the safety of the Tahoe. My daughter was watching a movie the whole time, completely oblivious.
The pictures do not do it any justice.

all good safe stories and the Tahoes area very safe unit, A tahoe against a similar size truck/SUV, the results would be different....as shark said newtons laws prevailed here had that been a Excursion per say the results may not have been so good......glad everyone was ok

 

Very true.
