Yaris durability in rollover wreck

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been seeing the Yaris commercials all day here at the fire station where I work and I even looked at info on them online today.

Well just now my partner and I were sent to a wreck where the vehicle had rolled sideways and landed on the roof. Just for what it is worth I thought I would share with you all. It was a two-door 2007 Yaris and it was lying on its back when we got there. The teenage girl driving had already gotten out and was not injured aside from a good seatbelt rash and a small bruise from the airbag on her eye. The vehicle had held up surprisingly well (in my opinion) for being as small as it is - the roof had not given any on her - allowing her to get out without being crushed. I know this is in no way like the "5 Star" rating that official testing agencies may give to vehicles, but it impressed us in its durability in this wreck - and the girl's father was impressed too from what he said.

Take care and God bless

Hopefully I won't verify this tomorrow at the RallyCross. :O Nice to know, at any rate.
