I am also surprised to note - The truck cabin is in good shape, the wind shields are proper. How did the truck driver die? |

He must have hit the steering wheel quite hard during the sudden impact. Moreover there is no question of seatbelts being present in these type of cabs or being used even if present. |

On reading about the Toyota Fortuner accident wherein no one survived, here is another SUV accident with the Ford Endeavour, which tumbled 400 feet into a valley and all 7 passengers survived. That is incredible to say the least. Source : https://www.rushlane.com/ford-endeav...-12202918.html |

That Endeavor news made me seriously put Ecosport back on my consideration list. Irrespective of gyaan of crumple zones, how lower weight cars are safer etc, it is a mental relief of safety in a 1/1.2 ton vehicle than an 800-900kg one. I have traveled very recently on this exact same road, maybe that's why this news appeals to me emotionally. |

I too saw that and did not quite understand why they are describing the vehicle specs. |

Speeds at which these accidents happened are very different, a slow rollover (from the original article) cannot be compared to a head on collision at 1XX speeds. |
