1932 Ford Model A Crashes into... Pizza Delivery Car

Reading or writing about accidents that take place all over the world is sometimes fun, mostly because we're not exactly the type of guys who love to write about dead bodies but about hilarious and mostly stupid crashes with cars that worth millions. It happened again and, although some of our colleagues here at autoevolution have a large smile on their faces, others are sad.

Because one of the car involved in the crash was actually a Ford Model A that was rolled off the assembly lines in 1932. And the case is indeed the type of story you'll laugh about when going out with your friends.

At the same time, a pizza delivery guy driving a Honda tried to do the same thing, but from Imperial Highway on Downey Avenue.

What happened afterwards is just terrible. The pizza delivery guy crashed into the classic car, which by the way was fully restored, and slightly injured the old man.
