My little story......well not so little 
I work for a armored truck company and have worked there for several years now. It was a average Tuesday afternoon when a lady driving a black honda decided to run a red light. This forced me to lock up the brakes on this fully loaded armored truck. The black honda was hit in the passenger rear side forcing it out of my way. This is where things got interesting, the collision rendered the steering useless.
The truck was headed north when it took a sharp right and hit a curb causing it to flip end over end. We ended up coming to a stop after demolishing a beverage centers sign. The truck was now upside down, both the passenger and I were now on the ceiling of the truck crippled in pain. I was unconscious my partner landed on top of me so he was the first to get out. Thanks to some quick acting pedestrians when the truck caught fire it was quickly extinguished considering I was still inside.
I managed to free my self from the wreck and lived to tell about it, now for those that are curious even though both vehicles are totaled including the honda the lady driving it was ok. As for my partner and I we are sore as all hell but a ok. Just minor cuts and bruises, all three of us involved were very lucky!!
Now for the few photos I was able to take:

Guess all it takes is a 6" curb.
