960 broadside





from Neil Evans, who also submitted the 745 head-on shot. (And all of the Volvo Canadian Sales brochures.)

My brother has another "Volvo Saved My Life" testimonial.  His 1992 960 wagon was broadsided (passenger side) by a transport that ran a red light while travelling at about 50 mph.  Fortunately, my brother was alone.  The passenger side was obliterated, but my brother was able to open the driver's side door and step out of the car.  As others have mentioned, the police were amazed that he lived, much less walked away. He now drives another 960 wagon.  The extent of his injuries were lacerations from the broken glass as the air bags deployed.
