Another Sad Camaro Day
Last week my friend's daughter made a turn from a stop, lost control at about 30-35mph, and hit a telephone pole with her 2011 Camaro.
She walked away with only a bruised arm. Camaro - keeping drivers from injury! |

Oh forgot to mention, the firewall was reportedly not breached by the engine block. Well done, GM.

Im sorry it had to happen but in all actuality she had to be going faster than 35. To do that amount of damage and to damage the engine and deploy the air bags, it had to be about a minimum of 50 mph.
Im glad she is ok though. Cars can be replaced.

Glad the driver escaped with very minor injuries. Is 35 the speed the driver stated or the speed that was recorded on the vehicle at the time the air bags deployed?
