Oh yeah, Ken....if it had hit the door, the truck wouldve been down while parts were ordered.
Joe, we've had a rash of Tier3 crashes (intersections) in Michigan this past year. Some of these hits would curdle your blood if you saw the pics. Last fall, one of my coworkers was heavily distracted at the end of his day, and ran a stop sign at 55mph, T-boning a brand new Silverado. Threw the Silvy into a tree, bending the truck in half. Rear axle was found 100 feet away, and one of the rear tires flew about 50 yds into a house. The only body panel NOT damaged was the drivers door, and the man somehow survived. Our truck's front end was completely destroyed, and the drivetrain broke from its mounts and was forced back about three feet. Bent the driveshaft like a pretzel. I have no idea how our driver walked away from the hit, it was that bad.
