Default Re: 69 chevelle body knocked off frame in fatal wreck

Looks like the Chevelle was sideways when it got hit on the driver's side. No car can handle a hit like that. Surprisingly, it was the passenger that died and not the driver. Even cars from Arizona can have rust in the body mount areas and be weakened to the point where they will tear out. I know of a Chevelle and a full sized Blazer, both old, that had the bodies come away from the frame in accidents much milder than this one. Rust was the culprit in both cases.
