by Powerful Mercedes G-Class Overturned After Collision with Toyota Prius
An unusual accident occurred in Los Angeles when a Mercedes G-Class, which had run a red light, collided with a Toyota Prius. Despite the size and weight of the German SUV, the laws of physics proved stronger – the impact from the side flipped the G-Class over several times.
Police initially spotted the stolen Mercedes near Century Boulevard. The driver did not stop at the request of law enforcement, leading to a chase. The pursuit continued through city streets and the freeway until the Mercedes was involved in an accident.
Accident Details
Footage from a helicopter shows the G-Class running a red light at high speed at an intersection, where it was rammed by a Toyota Prius. The impact was so powerful that the Mercedes was launched into the air and flipped over several times. The driver was detained at the scene.
“The G-Class may be big and heavy, but its high center of gravity didn’t help in this accident”
Separately, police reported an incident involving a patrol Ford Explorer, which crashed into a building during the chase. The circumstances of this accident remain unclear.
This case once again proves that even the most expensive and powerful cars are not immune to the consequences of traffic violations. The high center of gravity of SUVs is often the cause of rollovers during sharp maneuvers or collisions. According to preliminary data, the driver of the Mercedes was not seriously injured, which can be considered a great fortune after such a large-scale accident.
