It seems that Proton Iriz cannot stand side impact collision (T-Bone), presumably at high speed. From the photo, judging by the deployment of driver's curtain airbag, this Iriz is a Premium variant. The car's body is severely deformed.

proton freaking takenote. only volvo able to withstand side impact

Nit many cars can withstand side impact at high speed. It's one if the weakest part of the car

kereta kebal can

Vios, Mercedes, Peugeot & Range Rover, all died.

You must be joking

Only tank can withstand high speed impact from side

High speed?what speed?if 90kmh even volvo ko. Unless u buy supercar that have cockpit. Thats also depend on luck

hi-speed side impact... man that's really unfortunate.

Check post #6

Jangan butthurt ya

you'll be surprised that Honda CR-V could take extreme side collision:

That crv driver is critical. Just his/her luck not dieded. Btw b class vs suv. Sure suv win.

this one can survive

I believe so too. Because last time Preve got T bone and safe as well. Iriz is 'compact' car. Perhaps not enough space for crumple zone. One of the reasons why Nissan Teana got perfect score for ASEAN NCAP was because its crumple zone

I think think the pajerk vgt if it doesnt topple, side impact seems ok especially against smaller cars. My friends pajero vgt got t boned by a kancil. The kancil front severely damaged, total loss, the pajero no injuries and still can be repaired. Most of the damages taken by the pajero side bars for u to stand up. Size does matter i guess.

masa sudah sampai

Based on the news the Iriz made a u turn and assume that Audi TT was above 100km/h.

buy VOLVO!

Kalau proton mesti bash dulu..
Bash for the sake of bashing

Kena T-bone at 80kmh have very slim chance of survival for any compact.

Any car with the right condition can lead to death
