No. The cars were both going 40 MPH, so if they were of equal mass it would be like an 80 MPH single vehicle collision. But because the Camry is ~1000 lbs heavier than the Yaris, they don't stop equally quickly. The Yaris is driven backward instead of coming to a halt, and therefore it's like a considerably faster barrier collision. 100 MPH, say.
The same physics apply with the Camry vs. a big Toyota pickup, or that pickup against a larger truck... |
