I tend to agree with "quest'....partially. Looks like a side impact. Maybe not an exact "t-bone", but pretty close to it. Also, the article states the 2 vehicles were in opposing traffic and the Corsica turned left in front of the PT. Notice the damage to the Corsica was from passenger to driver. Agreed the passenger door looks like the Hurst Hydraulic Tool was used......based on the shape of the door. But think about that also...if the force was from the opposing side or even directly frontal.... mostly, the tool would not have been necessary.

I disagree with a third vehicle...it would have been mentioned in the article and/or damaged in the photo.

But, does it really matter....it happened....and none of us were involved, IMO.

Thanks, GTO for an interesting photos (both accidents).

GTOMIKE, is that a Corsica or the Canadian-market only Pontiac Tempest? I'm just curious because of the wheels.

I had a Corsica back in high school and when I started college. Relatively fast V6, comfy car, poor handling at the limit. I sold it to my Great Aunt who totaled it out three years later, but her and her friends walked away from the wreck with minor bruises.

There must have been Angels with him while it was rolling over.
