How safe is the Toyota Sienna?

Ever think of a head-on collision with a 30-ton (66,000lb) cement truck? Well, if you don’t, here is a thrilling video captured by the victim’s dash camera.

The story is quite simple: a Texas A&M University professor drove his Toyota Sienna and got the head-on hit by a fully-loaded run-the-red-light cement truck. Sounds like there might be a casualty? No, this Aggie professor actually didn’t get hurt at all.

Here is what the Sienna looks like after this accident.

Let’s take a close look. The safe cage is still intact after the collision, which protects the occupant inside.
