I tried to replicate this scenario in beamng, and it was very similar. The only difference was the side of the metro (replaced with a covet) didnt cave in, but it still spun sideways into the back of another car, and there is a fiat uno in the game, which was crushed into a pancake. Frighteningly realistic 🤓

The cars here would have been around 10 years old at the time. Would be interesting to do another test but with cars from around 2009, see how much improvement has been made.

On Germany's Autobahn A6 there was such a pile-up in the very late eighties. A policeman told the story how they pulled apart the wrecks of two lorries when clearing up the debris in a talk show. It turned there was some small car smashed in between them, which hadn't been visible from the outside before. The dead bodies of two young women were jammed in there, pressed to stand upright in the compressed wreck. They fell out off it either as the squeeze on them was released.

Man, props to them for actually showing us the unedited clips of the impact - rather than overdoing it with ten different camera angles and not a single undisturbed shot of the crash from beginning to end.

Well that Fiat acted as a very effective crumple zone for the Metro and the Mercedes!! :-O Makes you appreciate how much safer and stronger modern cars really are, especially the smaller and cheaper models. That said the human body does not take well to being slammed at 70mph regardless of what car you're in, that some serious deceleration happening.

Big car doesn't mean survival. 2 people I know know died in Australia when the driver slowed for smoke from a bush fire and were rear ended by a 140 tonne road train that was still doing 100 kmh.

My reaction to the video: Pay attention to your driving and your surroundings all the time. Also, whenever fog comes on the motorway, SLOW DOWN, YOU DONKEYS.

Some of those cars in that demonstration, such as the Metro, the Escort and the Cavalier, would have been worth a lot of money today. Let’s have a moment of silence for the soon-to-be classics that laid down their lives so us motorway drivers can continue to live the rest of ours. Lord, hear our prayer. 🙏

Gotta love the sanctimonious attitudes of 5th gear like these sorts of crashes could never happen to them.

I had one of those concertina crashes at 0:30 coming up behind me but i always leave a gap between me and the car in front and as I didn’t want to damage my car i could hear the banging of the cars crashing into one another so at the last second i put my foot down and sped forward then braked harshly to stop before the car in front i stopped the crashing and saved my car from any damage.

Iv been looking for this

Poor rover metro... that was my mum's first car in blue, she loved it

Having been a passenger in a car that was at the back of the pack and did indeed get hit. I can tell you this is a terrifying experience. Luckily for us though, it wasn't in fog, just at night and the guy did eventually notice and break, but not in time and hit us doing a good 40 to 50 mph.

I passed my driving test recently and I really wish they showed these sorts of things in the theory test to those participating in them. They give you hazard perception tests without showing you what happens if you lapse in your concentration on the road. Such a sobering video that would shock all the other guys with R plates who drive as if they're in a car with full carbon ceramics.

If you're familiar with the group 'Autoshite' on Facebook then you'll love this video 🤣

Winter white-out and glare ice one day on the expressway one evening... I'd slowed to 25~30 MPH, hazards on. Suddenly I was overtaken by a large herd of SUVs (this was in America btw, SE corner of Lake Michigan/known bad spot) all plowing along at 70 MPH+ or so. Got a couple of looks from the windows of those 4wd behemoths as they flew by... "lol look at Mr. Slow" was written on their faces as they all but pointed and laughed at the little borrowed Toyota. Time passed and we (wife and baby son were in the car too) continued on at our happy snail's pace, warm, dry and making steady if glacial progress. Then in the distance... lights. Not on the roadway, but in the median. One of the big 4x4s had spun off the road. A minute or so later there was another, and another, and another and... you get the picture. Most of the nearly dozen or so managed to at least stay on their wheels... a few did not. Even though I had time to take it all in at my leisurely pace I was mostly focusing on the road, and I couldn't see their faces... but something tells me their expressions had changed. It's a fairly remote stretch of highway, and recovery there is slow and expensive, especially in blizzard conditions. Eventually I came upon a State Trooper stopped under an underpass near one of the last (first?) wrecks, and pulled over to have a chat... told him what I'd seen spread out behind us all down the median and ditch, and how they'd gotten there. "Roger" he said, "then they're all getting tickets, too" and he called for backup. We plodded on, eventually broke out of the worst of it to better conditions and made it to our destination... tired, late and hungry but fully intact. It was on the news the next day... not everyone had survived. TLDR: Slow down. The life you save might be that of someone you love.

Even when you drive leaving an airport runway in front everybody swerves into it in an emergency anyway so still no guarantee of avoiding getting hit or hitting someone else.

Testing with a metro isn't a great example. It's like being hit by a sheet of paper

I'm glad the roads are getting safer on the motorways!

I learned my lesson years ago. Used to drive faster then I could see, then I had a very near miss from someone driving absurdly slow (10-20kmh seriously pull off the road at that point) I was driving much faster then I should have likely 80-90kmh in a heavy downpour and escaped without incident. Someone had passed me seconds before, had they still been beside me I would have had nowhere to go and rear ended a tractor trailer. I was driving a 40,000lb truck and would have been squished like a bug. I had probably less then 2 seconds to react at that speed. I learned a valuable lesson early in my driving career. I could have easily killed myself or someone else with my behavior.

Yes and no, i agree some were stronger and after a crash looked in ok condition, and the weaker ones had stupid thin metal so a coke can has more structural strength, however there was a big gulf between a strong car like the merc and the weak metro's uno's etc, The problem with a vehicle that stays solid in a high speed impact is the damage to your body you cant see because of laterial g-force, If the force of the impact is not "absorbed" thru crumble zones the force has to exit somewhere, and those forces get put thru your body, and can break bones, cause blood vessels to just "pop" and massave internal bleeding, can bruise internal organs causing swelling and stopping them working, Yeah if i have a bump i would like to repair my car, but rather trash a car then not live another day, Problem with the others is they were so weak that in a medium speed crash they fold up and you become one with the car, What we got to relise is now more people walk away from incidents that 30 years ago would of killed them with no exception,

Mercedes spent over a billion on the production of the w140 and close to that on the 80s s class which was e first car to have air bags as standard in 86; I’m pretty sure they’ve got crumple zones too looking at some of there design videos from the 70s on the w123

Still to the day, this scares me. Yes the Merc was unscathed internally but only until the next lunatic comes barreling through. Then comes a lorry or two.

I thought the Hungerford M4 crash was the worst ever? Many more deaths due to the fireball that was caused by a Tanker driver being a pratt and smashing into the back of the queue of traffic; the saddest part is that he survived.

Cars are designed for some frontal impact protection but, so it seems, not so much for rear impact.

No surprise that the Mercedes-Benz remained pretty much intact. The safety cell really does give occupants a high chance of survival in a front end or rear end crash.

This is really shocking me cause I always drive way to fast

The car should be tested for 100-120kmph speed. Rather than for 60kmph.More than that In a modern world need for real time traffic/ vehicular movement or weather monitoring system is required. Not much of progress is gone in this direction. Need warning signal at every 1kms with camera for real time monitoring , With digitised system need for on board traffic/ weather monitoring device which can provide automated alert on visibility , snow, rain or to reduce the speed and what speed to maintain or update on real time prevailing conditions & much more. Need of the hour. All said and done it's on our part to drive carefully and responsibily and understand the condition till such roads and systems are introduced.

This was informative. I bought that Mercedes.

I drive for a living and it always amazes the number of people that drive too close to the back of my bus.

Why do they happen in the first place? Because some dummy is usually on his phone; usually an Eastern European Lorry driver on cruise control and then piles up the arse of the traffic stopped in front of them killing loads of people because they weren't paying attention. solution? GET OFF THE BLOODY PHONE. Oh and turn the limiter on instead of the cruise control that way your foot tends to be near the brake pedal. Here's a tip, give yourself an escape route by keeping a bit of distance to the stationary vehicle in front and keep one eye on the mirror; if a car looks like it's coming in too fast change lanes if you can. Let the one in front take the hit instead.
