This car appears to have received the wort of the collision.

It truly is amazing how modern vehicles protect occupants.

Minivan Unlucky at Shopping Center

On Thursday evening some cars decided to setup a brain twister for Wake Forest Police Department, Wake Forest Fire Department, and Wake EMS to figure out.

The accident occurred at Durham Road and Cloverleaf Drive. To be honest I never knew that was the name of the road.
