Amazing 2011 Ford Fiesta crash and testimonial

Our friends over at Randall Ford in Fort Smith, AR recently shared the following testimonial and photos with us. We'll let the story and iimages speak for themselves:

This was such a compliment to us and to Ford Motor Company that I had to share. Angela Williams, a customer who bought our very first lime squeeze 2011 Fiesta, got hit in a head-on collision by a drunk driver during broad daylight a few days ago. You can find a video of the aftermath of the crash on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/yellmtdew#p/a/u/1/CGfD29XztIw or search for the "yellmtdew" channel on YouTube. The crash was bad, but as you'll see from the photos, those class-exclusive driver knee airbags allowed Mrs. Williams to walk away from the crash. Here is what she had to say:

"Please tell Randall Ford that I definitely want another Fiesta. If she could help us locate another I would be forever grateful. This car, from what the police said, at the very least saved my legs. I want to write a testimonial and send to Ford, but not sure who to send it to. I want to let them know how much I appreciate the engineering and safety features that helped save my life."

We are locating her another Fiesta as we speak. Nothing says customer loyalty like a life that has been spared! Thanks to the engineers at Ford who make safety standard.

Did you know the 2010 Ford Fusion received a "Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety?

2010-ford-fusion-sport

The all-new 2010 Fusion, the most fuel-efficient midsize car in North America, has received a "Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). It's an honor, but not exactly a surprise. Fusion was designed from the start with safety as a top priority.

Side-impact protection
Fusion gets some of its core strength from the use of lightweight high-strength steel within the body structure. Its side-protection elements include energy-absorbing foam blocks, side-intrusion beams inside the doors, solid, extra-thick steel in the B-pillar structure, seat-deploying front seat side airbags and side-curtain airbags for head protection in both rows.
