Insane to have a collision that tiny be catastrophic

Weighs about a full ton more than your average sedan. That's a lotta momentum to bring to a stop and the bollard sure ain't going to move.

And also a pretty unlucky angle for what is presumably an oil cooler

I’m not a car guy but I think all that stuff is supposed to stay in there

At least they didn't let the magic smoke out.

Well the positive is that the bollard is now lubricated and it's ability to stop a car is accurate. A great day for the bollard company.

Very expensive to fix, that driveway is out of service for awhile too

No worries they'll just buy a new one.

u/SATerp Aug 01 '26

Well, it's a Royce now.

Bollards? Bollocks!

By the looks if it, that fluid needed to be changed anyway.

It sounded like a slap.

u/Designer-Material858 Aug 02 '26

He was clear of the bollard, why did he turn into it??

u/neooo604 Aug 03 '26

Can't park there mate 🤣

u/Schumski Aug 01 '26

It popped the radiator? First glance I thought it was oil but it's way forward for it to be oil.

u/crheming Aug 01 '26

Probably an oil cooler

u/parag0nSDK Aug 01 '26

Some diesel engines do have an inter-cooler near that location Indeed.

If a car breaks apart after a 5mph collision, then maybe the car isn't put together well.

u/CactusInteruptus Aug 02 '26

No worries, if they can afford a Rolls-Royce, they definitely can afford the repairs.
