Looks to me like the wrecking ball never made it as far as the back seat. If the ball had more kinetic energy, it would have been able travel further into the car, soccer balls or not, and pinned the driver between the seat and the steering wheel.

Over-dramatization fail…

The owner of the car is obviously not at fault. Whether or not they have insurance is irrelevant.

Had the person been driving and hit the wrecking ball, it might be a different story. :P

It is in Meadville, PA and I was at camp across the street from the library on the day this happened. Its called Bill the wrecking ball because of the song i helped write at camp by the same name….
“Imagine if you will, a wrecking ball named bill
He ran away from the library and he rolled right down that hill”

The library at Allegheny College was being renovated, and the wrecking ball somehow broke free of its chain. It rolled down the hill into town, hitting some dozen cars (kinda like a pinball game down the street), finally slamming into the back of a students car. He only survived because his back seat had a bag of soccer balls he was taking to a game. Luckily this occurred during the summer, or the situation would have been much much worse!

They were remodeling the library and were working with a wrecking ball that was too heavy for the crane. It fell off the crane, bounced down the hill (our college is on a hill) and landed in the back of a student’s car. In honor of the occasion, they named the little coffee stand in the library the “Wrecking Ball Cafe.”

More Specifically: Allegheny College
Context: My girlfriend’s dad’s construction management company hired a shitty wrecking crew with bad equipment. Ball broke off crane and rolled like 6 blocks through town damaging 10 cars.
