Thats bad. Ouch! I wonder how much of that damage is or was caused by CAFE standards to get fuel economy up to meet never ending increases of raising the national bar. I guess that I could understand the inner and outer fender. OK, I can understand that. But when the bumber, running board, and windshield get torn up, one has to wonder how, and my guess is lighter weight components to meet newer, newer, and newer CAFE standards. Lucky for you it was a Super Duty. Had it been a compact or subcompact, especially a hybrid or all electric, holy cow, they'd be sweeping pieces of it and you up. I see cars, and you and everyone else does as well, big dents and tears in them for no reason, as though they were made out of soup cans...to meet CAFE standards. Like the late Dale Ernhardt said of the restricter plate rule in NASCAR, "...going to get someone killed..." and he was the first. The same can be said of CAFE standards that dictate smaller, thinner, lighter in the name of mandated standards that can't make vehicles safer. Going to get people killed, and no one in Washington will be held accountable after they are long gone from office, politics aside.
And by the way for the subject in general, my condolences for the family of such a tragic accident, no matter the cause. Innocent little kids deserve far better. Tragic. Just tragic. My guess is that someone is kicking themselves now, and the little kid aint comin back.
