“Twelve midsize sedans earned the lowest safety rating from the insurance industry in crash tests designed to show what happens when pickup trucks or sport utility vehicles hit cars in the side.”

Somehow this sounds to me like the “Car” manufacturers are now having to modify the safety designs of their products to help protect the occupants from SUV’s and Pickup Trucks.  This test simulates a side impact at 31 mph by a 3000 pound plus vehicle.  It is estimated that the driver that killed Cindy was travelling at 55 mph.  I think it will be a few years before they can build a safe affordable vehicle that could protect the occupants at those speeds.  Especially if it’s a big SUV or pickup that hits you going 55 mph.
