Found this video of an LS460 crash caught by a dash cam. Watch the grille go flying. Shows the damage to the car in the beginning of the video, but someone put the grill back in place.

Video is here

Awesome find!! LS460 is a beast, knocked that econoline van right over. Wow! So glad I have this tank of a car as well and this convinced me to stop stalling and get a dash cam also

Yes these cars mini tanks they can take strong hit and dish it out too.

Sad thing is the lying border patrol scumbags trying to say he ran a red light!

Now they are trying to claim they had their emergency lights on... I know we saw just a few seconds of the van, but I saw no emergency lights on on the van in that video...

Question: Why didn't the Lexus driver slam on the brakes? I am 64 but I think my reaction time is good enough to have hit the brakes. Maybe he did and we did not see it in the video.

It's a wide angle lens which makes it look like the distances are longer. He probably couldn't have reasonably stopped.

There was no way to stop completely. .you can see him swerve to the right but the van was hidden until the last couple seconds. .driver could not avoid impact

Step on the brakes and swerve for what???? Green means go n swerving could have made it worst and involve more vehicles.... by all means anticipating another vehicle through n intersection on a green is a little much...

It look like that's the grille from the van.

LUXURY TANK!!!! is all i have to say, but it does have me thinking about purchasing a dash cam now thou, because officials will lie to protect their own a%# when they are in the wrong

LXurious

Wow the LS demolished that van!!! But so glad he had that cam I think I might get one now because pigs are *******s and only protect their own kind. I have zero respect for them which is why I ride dealer plates tinted the hell out. Protect and serve my rear end.

scottkroug

wow that was scary as hell.... Thank goodness the LS driver and nobody else was injured.. Just proves that anyone will try to bend the truth if it means they will get away with something..

Uhhh. I take huge offence my friend. I guarantee that I'd put my *** on the line (and have) for anyone...ANYONE.

I would love to say more, but I'm pretty sure the mods would have a field day.

Cameras and distance are hard to judge, but I too wonder why the driver of 460 didn't seem to slow down or brake at all. I drive my 460 like I drive my Harley: defensively. Habit I guess after many years of motorcycle riding.

I watch the drivers eyes and head more than their car at intersections. And even if I can tell they see me, I assume they are going to pull out or turn in front of me. Especially at blind intersections like this one where several cars are hiding possible turning or cross traffic. In that case, I always take my foot off the accelerator and have it ready to hit the break. Similar to my Harley. The van was totally at fault, but that doesn't mean anything if your hurt or dead. Your health is the one asset that insurance cannot replace.
