Ford EcoSport Keeps Everyone Safe In Crash
The owner of the EcoSport has shared this unfortunate incident on Facebook. The images tell the huge crash and its aftermath on the body of the compact SUV. The front left side of the EcoSport is almost entirely damaged. We don’t have the details of how this happened. But starting from the left fender, all the way back to the B-pillar, the entire body is crumbled. Somehow, the glass didn’t break from where the opened airbags are visible. The tyre is gone and the inside of the inside is clearly exposed. It is rare for this area of the car to get so heavily damaged and passengers still escaping unhurt. The damage is restricted to the B-pillar itself. The rear door and area beyond that seem normal. This is a prime example of Ford EcoSport keeping the passengers safe in the worst-case scenario of a huge crash.
