It would appear they crash well, both driver and passenger walked away

if that was in a other make of car from the same time at that speed the outcome could have been alot worse.

Not good... Why did he crash?

Being a tool! Racing and weaving at 110 in the wet! Still he learned his lesson, with his court date for dangerous driving

The barrier must have moved a lot - as 110mph impact would do WAY more damage if it was solid...This focus was doing 120 when it hit something solid [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dI5ewOmHPQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/ame]

That would be the equivalent of two cars travelling at 60mph (equal speed and weight) colliding head-on. This is a similar test with Volvo 740 and a BMW 5 series closing at 60 mph: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe3JpuVy4cA[/ame]
