Two things to point out here. The driver of the Cadillac was definitely driving while he was intoxicated. He simply abandoned all caution while he was driving in that state. The driver of the Plymouth was in a hurry and also abandoned caution. That was a recipe for a tragic accident that did not need to occur. It is important to driver carefully. This way you're much more likely to avoid an accident. Never drive when one's ability to drive is impaired by alcohol, drugs or a medical condition.

So true. But the accident shown involved at least one totally different car. We can't really see anything but the bottom of the car on it's side. But the other car certainly isn't the '50 Cadillac Coupe DeVille driven by the drunkard. Instead it's a possibly 1950 Plymouth Coupe. So that's a poorly made film. At first I thought that guy at the desk on the left was a cardboard cutout.

In mint condition the Cadillac would be $50K to $60K at auction. The 53 Plymouth isn't a popular car with collectors so it would be maybe $20K in good condition. (I have a 54 that I got for $3K) After the accident the Plymouth became a 1950 three window coupe. worth around $30K in good condition. The Cadillac became a 1939 Willys. I couldn't tell if it was a sedan or coupe. I don't have any idea what they are worth but the coupes are sought after for drag cars. The sedans are less valuable. After that horrific head on collision the Plymouth only had minor front end damage. The Willys had none.
