Side Impact Collision Photos

Recommended Posts

Spotted this Edge at a local collision centre. Luckily it's similar to mine but not mine. Thought viewers would like to see how it fared on a side impact. The roof is still intact, the back window has been broken out and it had snow tires on the vehicle.

Edge does have a five star crash rating in everything except a rollover. Seeing that back window shattered makes me wonder how safe third row seats are on the suv/cuv's that have them up against the back window. When I was shopping for my first Edge I looked at the Mazda CX-9 because of the third row and was not excited about where it was.

It would be interesting to know how fast the vehicle was going that t-boned it, but it looks like the passenger cabin was very well protected. Thanks for sharing.

I would say that car is totaled.

That actually looks like it held together really well. I too am curious to how fast the vehicle was travelling when it impacted into the edge. That is FAR from being totaled.

I would love to buy that as a wreck. I just finished rebuilding my '08 Edge Limited, and i love it.

2008 Ford Edge after accident

That is almost identical to the damage on my 2008 Edge, just hit harder than mine was hit. Mine was the Ink Metallic Blue color.

It's a good thing you didn't get that, from what I've heard/learned, third row seating is incredibly unsafe, especially in rear end accidents.

First dibs on the mirrors.

Spare parts anyone?
