Corowa Hume freeway crash ?

I hope the driver survives. The story mentions he was ejected through the roof during the rolling of the vehicle.

We had something similar about 3 or 4 years back, after the Austin Thresherman reunion. An older fellow was driving his 1920s model T back to Winnipeg on the TransCanada highway when he was struck from behind by a semi. Speed on the TransCanada is 110kmh...the model T was likely traveling at around half that speed. I note that the Stalwart has a similar max speed.

While there were no calls for the banning of model Ts from the roadways after our accident, it would seem more and more states in the USA are banning military vehicles from the highways. Their lower speeds and low visibility are some of the factors given.
