First of all, although it seems impossible, all participants in this car accident are not life threatened. All those who saw Saab after the accident thought there were no survivors in this incident – however, the construction of the Saab car saved lives for the driver and her companion.
The crash happened around 3 p.m. on Works Road, near Honeoye Falls in Rochester (New York), and four people were taken to the hospital after a crash Wednesday afternoon.
Three vehicles were involved, including a Town of Henrietta dump truck, a 2008 Saab 9-3 and a 2013 Ford Escape. The dump truck was traveling west on Honeoye Falls No. 6 Road when Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies say it appears the Saab pulled out in front of the truck, causing the crash. Deputies stress the investigation is in its early stages.

“When you hear about a dump truck loaded with asphalt rolling over on top of a car, of course we pictured there weren’t going to be survivors,” Schultz told. “Thankfully, everybody involved, they’re banged up but they’re okay. That was our number one priority.”
“Someone was looking out for everyone today,” he added. – We will add – for travelers in Saab, Saab engineers have taken care of…

Little more on this story. The Saab is a 2008 9-3 Aero. The 10 wheeler loaded with asphalt hit the 9-3 in the driver door and front left fender. The 9-3 was pushed across the intersection where the Ford hit the car head-on. The 9-3 then traveled over the embankment where the 10 wheeler loaded with asphalt rolled onto the 9-3. Both driver and passenger were able to crawl out of the passenger front window with very minor injuries. I will be shopping for another 9-3 very soon!
