This is not a Smart Car
Are you getting emails forwarded from people showing a car smashed between 2 large trucks like the one above?
And does the email say something like
“OUCH!”
and
“Here is a photo of a wreck in Jefferson Parish, LA (near New Orleans ) between two trucks and a Smart Car. Think I’ll pass on the Smart Car.
Do You Still Want a Smart Car? Not if you are smart!”
Here is some news: The car is NOT a Smart Car!
It is a Ford Escape as reported by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office and confirmed HERE in Snopes. The photo is real, the car is just NOT a Smart Car.
(Only the passenger side of the vehicle was crushed, the driver survived with some injuries.)
It is relatively easy to spot the difference even if you can only see one wheel. (more…)
