The Press Democrat posted this video, shot by Tom Bond, of a crash on Highway 101 near Cloverdale, California: a car sheared clean in two lengthwise, the stunned driver still seated, unhurt, inches from the tear. The other driver was ejected but only suffered moderate injuries.

According to the CHP, Apol Lansang, 26, of Sonoma, was driving her Malibu south on Highway 101, near Geysers Road when she was struck by the northbound Sequoia being driven by Kevin Fenty, 27, of Huntington Beach, that drifted across the highway into Lansang's lane.

The impact sliced Lansang's car down the middle, sending the car's entire passenger side onto the embankment. Fenty was ejected by the impact. Both drivers were taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital - Lansang with minor injuries and Fenty with moderate injuries, according to the CHP.

"The scene was, it was pretty intense," said Sgt. Jason Bahlman, who has been with the CHP for 16 years. "It was definitely one of the most severely damaged cars I've ever seen."
