Car accidents are never pretty.
We may have seen an action movie or two where we gasp in awe as the car crash scene ended with one of the cars doing a magnificent flip through the air before landing on its hood.
In other scenes, a car may be split cleanly into two after the impact.

But what appears in the movies should be kept within the made-believe sphere.
In the real world, such accidents are bound to result in casualties and deaths.
