VW Passat Becomes Bowling Ball in Russia

Some car crashes are spectacular than others, even without any of the people involved getting injured in the process. This Volkswagen Passat driver, from Russia, fails to see the Suzuki Grand Vitara, which was making a left at the intersection, and ploughs straight into it, only to ricochet straight into a van, which was coming the other way.
The accident itself is very spectacular, and the Passat is thrown from one side, to the other, in about a second. The driver gets out immediately afterward, and appears to be uninjured, despite the obvious severity of the actual impacts. The Grand Vitara is thrown all the way to the sidewalk, and the van is badly damaged but manages to stop, on the side of the road.

Make sure you have good visibility when attempting to change direction in an intersection, as the view is often obstructed by other cars doing the same as you, and it is often difficult to accurately judge when it is safe to actually pass.
