Latio vs Wira

A friend's Nissan Latio got got a head on collision on its side with a Proton Wira. This unfortunate incident happened while making a turn at a traffic light. The Latio engine was still running after the incident but the Wira totally stalled. The Wira suffered damages to the bonnet, bumper and the front part of the chassis. I didn't manage to get any shots of the damaged Wira. We shall see if i get to visit the workshop. :)

The Latio suffered door damages only. Not sure if the pillars have issue that will need further inspection. According to the Latio's driver, he felt nothing more than a thud during the impact and only realised the severity of the damage when he came out to inspect it. Thankfully there were no one in the passenger seats. I can't imagine what would have happened.

Looking at the car, these thoughts come to mind

• What is the limit of these side impact bars?
• There were no skid marks from the wira showing signs or it braking. How fast was it going? Did the driver panic or was he looking else where
• Does this prove Nissan's claim for the Latio's 6-Star JNCAP rating?

I'm just glad no one got hurt.
