He hit a truck that was stopped on the freeway. It was at night. He didn't even get a chance to hit the brakes. Hit the truck at about 80mph. The truck had been involved in another accident.

Ya, he had his seat belt on. After he got out of the car another vehicle hit the car. Thats where the damage in the rear came from.

That was incredibly lucky!!! He should be as glad for walking out as he might be sad about the car!

Too true!
My seat belts dont work either. My seat also didn't work as well after my brother stretched and broke a weld. Replaced the seat but the car broke and never fixed the seat belt. Now just fixed the car and the seat belt is still broken.
