C70 sandwich


                       I have recently been told of a crash in my town (Naples, FL.) in which a 30 or so years old was driving
                       her new 2000 C70 convertible when driving at 11:30pm, was sandwiched by an 18 wheel semi-truck
                       and another car. The semi hit her in the front and caused her car to go more vertical than a car should
                       be,. The car was vertical enough to deploy the ROPS system and then the car was struck from behind
                       while mid air, causing the C70 to land on top of it, but with also enough impact to set off the WHIPS
                       seats.

                       The car was smashed up, but it being a VOLVO the door opened right up and the woman walked out
                       unharmed, singing her praises of the volvo that saved her life
