News, Wrecking ball hits car. (Ford, Taurus, 2007, traffic light)

[JD59]

One breaks loose, goes on tear near college.

Alex Habay was in his Ford Taurus, stopped at a traffic light in downtown Meadville, Crawford County, yesterday morning, thinking about nothing, idly listening to a radio commercial while on his way to his summer job at the YMCA.

That's when a 1,500-pound wrecking ball smashed into the rear of his car.

Meadville mishap defines wrecking ball

Funny how it parked it self right in the trunk. Puts a whole new meaning to overloaded trunk!!!!LOL

"Honey, I am sorry, but I had a small mishap with the car".

He is lucky it didnt smash over his head!

That was my thought exactly. It's just dead center in the trunk. It couldn't be much better than that.

Its part of the crash for clunkers program.

Wouldn't the trunk lid have a bit more damage than that? How exactly did it open instead of collapsing into the trunk?

[drjones96]

^ I can't figure that one out either. I guess you just had to see it happen or something to understand how the trunk came open.


...maybe the ball was rolling and not bouncing?
