Clark, we are stuck under a truck...Do you honestly think I don't know that

Saw this elsewhere.
Modern cars the seating area is supposed to be a "Survival capsule" Designed to maximize survivability in the event of an accident.

I'd say Nissan's engineers did a very fine job.

I'd say the driver had an Angel on her shoulder and that the roof safety standard specs were met by Nissan. Crazy
I'd like to see the recovery bill on that one.

Once the Nissan got past the axles the RV acted like a (heavy) lever lifting the Dodge up by its hitch.

It’s amazing there were no injuries, or worse!

Sounds about right, a lot of front end damage to the Nissan.

I'm surprised that the hitch stayed connected.

I'm guessing that Outback weighs a little more than 1397 lbs..
