Jenn Dietz was making a left hand turn when a five-axel dump truck traveling at 40 to 45 miles per hour collided with her 2015 CX-5
The impact caused the airbags to deploy, the dash to buckle, and the windshield looked like a mangled spider web. The Mazda CX-5 was a total loss, yet amazingly Jenn was not. In fact, she walked to the ambulance under her own power.
In the original story, featured on insidemazda, Jenn recalls the incident:
“I remember hearing the sickening crunch of the collision, seeing the airbag deploy in front of me, and the feeling of the car sliding sideways for what seemed like forever before coming to a stop. But my space was clear and the seatbelts kept me in place. The dash had buckled up into the windshield instead of down into my legs. My door opened easily. The passenger side airbags had also gone off, protecting me from flying glass.”Later, Dietz credited Mazda CX-5 engineers with saving her life: "I fully believe two things saved me, God and Mazda engineering." She also recalls the EMT's commenting how her car "did its job." So it's no surprise that two days after the collision she walked into her local Mazda dealer to buy another CX-5.
I guess when it comes down to it - those IHSS safety ratings really do mean something.
If you have a CX-5 let us know what you think! What do you like about it? What don't you like about it? We want to know!
