Toyota safety in action: a Toyota Tacoma’s accident

Often when people think of trucks, the last thing they think of is safety. They think performance, utility, and size. But, like with every Orlando Toyota vehicle, safety is woven into the very body design. In fact, recently a Toyota Tacoma endured a very serious accident and, while the front and rear ends were destroyed, the cabin remained intact and the drivers safe. Toyota of Orlando is here with the full story and how Toyota safety technology benefits everyone by creating a safer driving environment.

A serious accident and a testament to Toyota safety technology

After a photo was published to the Toyota USA Facebook page of a Toyota Tacoma that recently endured a serious accident, people have begun to realize just how safe Orlando Toyota vehicles can be. The photo in this article was submitted by an EMT on the accident scene and it doesn’t lie. The pictured Toyota Tacoma was in a severe accident involving a semi-truck and that typically spells heavy damage and severe injury or potential loss of life because of the sheer weight and force semis travelling at high speeds. But, as you can see by the picture, the Toyota Tacoma sustained heavy damage, but the cabin was left intact as were the passengers.
