    Wow looking at the driver side I thought it was an access cab. It must have hit a light pole on the driver rear door. :eek:

    Could it have been Tornado damage. Several years back I saw some of the cars that came out of Joplin Mo after the horrendous EF5 tornado that struck that town. It looked as if the vehicles were made of paper and someone had just "wadded them up and threw them down on the pavement. It was hard to believe what I saw with my own eyes.

    Looks like a prop that came from the "Transformers" movies. Maybe it was in a tornado? Those 2x4's though....

    Wow! It actually looks something like what my 2004 did when I got rear ended by a Kia doing about 80...rolled and spun 180 degrees at the same time. Minus the broken 2x4 in the radiator, of course. I have to give points for style on that!

    I noticed that too. I didn't want to say anyone died without knowing.

    I know the steering wheels are designed to bend without destroying a persons chest.

    Normal handling characteristics, not a warranty issue. Besides the transporting of cargo in the bed voided the warranty anyway.

    If it was a Tornado I wonder if people were in the Truck as if I am not mistaken the Airbags should not deploy unless someone is sitting in the seats.

    It had to have flipped. I swapped a motor into my Silverado from a z06 vette and put on a supercharger. My brother decided to take it out one night drinking and flipped it 5 times. It looked about the same. He crawled out, and walked away just fine....then again he is literally one of the toughest people I've ever met in my life lol.

    If it was in or around China Grove NC, it wasn't a tornado. Are those fence posts in the radiator? Maybe went of road, flipped onto them, rolled into a tree? In any case you could say his life got flipped-turned upside down...

    Probably drove through a fence. Had a friend in a blazer do that once. He had fence posts jabbed into his radiator just like that.

    No biohazard labels on it. These labels get put on a vehicle when someone dies in it after an accident.
    Zombies are coming...:rofl: these stickers were put on my house and other surrounding buildings when the walking dead was filmed in my area.

    Nevermind... just saw this on the report in a previous post. Maybe just excessive bodily fluids.
