2010 2LT vs Chevy Suburban - Ouch! **Update**

A guy that works with my wife, got his 2LT shortly after I got my 2SS, was in a nearly head on collision over the weekend. The Camaro is totaled but he walked away and can be seen in the images below.





A Cavalier ran a stop sign and sent the Suburban head on into him. He is going to wait for the convertible now to come out but he is getting another.

His wife died from breast cancer last year and we all think she was watching over him because usually any car being hit by a Suburban usually means you don't walk away!

Glad your ok Jerry!

Ya, his chest still hurts from the airbag but I can't believe how well the car took the impact. I agree, makes me feel a bit better if something like that should ever happen to me.

Glad to hear that everyone was all right! And I agree that after seeing those pics and knowing that nobody was seriously injured, I feel even better about driving my car....

Looks like paint. Maybe they were marking the scene for the police report?

Glad to hear he is okay! Car did it's job in protecting the occupants. We should remember this when we're complaining about the "unnecessary" weight of the 5th gen. We've seen some pretty gnarly wrecks posted here that people have walked away from.
