This document contains the results of a single full-scale automobile crash test conducted at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) in McLean, Virginia. The crash test involved a 1988 Ford Festiva impacting a guardrail at 96 km/h (60 mi/h) at an angle of 20 degrees. The guardrail system consisted of a 12 gauge, W-beam guardrail mounted to posts and blockouts made of a plastic/sawdust composite material. The vehicle had one anthropomorphic dummy restrained in the driver seat to observe passenger kinematics. The vehicle with the dummy weighed 891 kg (1965 1b). The results of this test tend to indicate that a guardrail system constructed of standard W-beam and plastic/sawdust composite posts would perform adequately in redirecting light weight vehicles.
