The report documents the full-scale side impact test of a 1980 Dodge Colt impacting into a breakaway luminaire support. The impact speed was 30 mph and the impact angle was broadside with the impact point aligned with the driver's shoulder. The impacted pole was mounted on a Union Metal Transformer base. Upon impact the pole crushed into the vehicle as the vehicle slowed. The vehicle then began to yaw and finally stopped after it spun around about 150 degrees. The pole did not break away. Extreme occupant compartment penetration occurred. All parameters exceeded the acceptable thresholds. This would have been a fatal accident.
