The Toyota Camry has been among the better-known executive sedans on sale in the Indian market. In fact, the Camry has been a huge success in many parts of the world. Apart from its ingenious hybrid technology, the Toyota Camry also boasts 5-star safety rating from ASEAN NCAP. That said, here we have a shocking report of a Toyota Camry that was split in two after a high-speed collision. This accident happened in Saudi Arabia, unfortunately exemplifying the dangers and perils of high speed and rash driving.

As you can see in the video, the car has completely disintegrated after the crash and is even barely recognizable. However, a look at whatever is left suggests that this a 2107 model of the Toyota Camry. Although the exact details of the accident are not known, it must have had a very hard impact on its sides, which has completely split the car in two.

ArrayThis accident must have been at a really high speed, at which stage NCAP ratings do not hold much relevance. Even Global NCAP conducts its crash tests at speeds of 64kph, replicating average city speed limits. However, with such crashes at much higher speeds, one is really treading into unknown territory. At this point, onboard safety features won't be the most effective in preventing fatalities. This also goes on to stress the need for driving safely and more importantly, driving within speed limits.
