In 1920s America, the number of motorized vehicles on the road was growing dramatically. This rapid increase in automobiles was, of course, accompanied by a rapid increase in automobile accidents.
In this thought-provoking RU-vid video, we present a collection of rare and intriguing photographs capturing the tumultuous world of car accidents from the 1920s and 1930s.
Join us on a visual journey through the annals of automotive history, where roads were less traveled, and safety measures were in their infancy. Explore the wreckage of vintage automobiles and the challenges that early motorists faced.
These haunting images serve as a stark reminder of how far we've come in terms of road safety and transportation technology. From the aftermath of chaotic city intersections to the aftermath of speed-related highway mishaps, these snapshots reveal the raw reality of life on the road during the early 20th century.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to witness a world gone by and gain a deeper appreciation for the safety measures and advancements that have transformed our roads today.

There was a lot wrong with the roads, that took decades to figure out. Notice how on turns in the road, they are sloped to help absorb the sliding motion of the car. Passing lanes to help safe passing. Shoulders to pull off out of traffic. It took a lot of trial, error, injury, and death to give us the wonderful roads we have today. Jayne Mansfield gave us the bumper on the back of semi trailers. The car she was in, crashed into one, one night, killing her and her driver. The car went underneath the trailer, killing her and her driver. It was her gruesome death that an improvement to truck trailer construction came into being, requiring all to be fitted with a solid metal barricade type bumper and truckers to this day, call it the Mansfield Bumper. Mansfield's tragic death was no more tragic or heartbreaking than the millions of others who died in the marvel of motorized travel.
@redtra236
@redtra236 5 месяцев назад
The funny thing is the modern semi bumpers probably would have failed when hit by a 1966 Buick at the speeds they were supposedly traveling so it probably wouldn't have changed much in that accident.
