Subaru Crosstrek Safety Features
In a heart-stopping moment on Route 17, Lauren’s life was forever changed when a reckless driver crossed the double yellow line and collided with her 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. Little did she know that her trusted vehicle would prove to be her guardian angel, its superior engineering and safety features shielding her from what could have been a catastrophic outcome.
A Fateful Day on Route 17
It was an ordinary Tuesday morning when Lauren set out on Route 17, her trusty 2023 Subaru Crosstrek carrying her from Durham to Middletown. Little did she know that her journey would soon take a harrowing turn, testing the mettle of her beloved vehicle and leaving her forever grateful for its unwavering protection.
As she navigated the familiar stretch of road, a black Cadillac SUV careened across the double yellow line, barreling straight towards her. In a split-second decision, Lauren swerved, shifting the impact from a direct head-on collision to a glancing blow along her driver’s side.
“He didn’t even try to slow down or stop,” Lauren recounted, her voice tinged with disbelief. “It all happened so fast, but I remember swerving to avoid a direct hit where my body was.”
A Testament to Subaru’s Engineering Excellence
The force of the impact sent Lauren’s Crosstrek spinning 180 degrees, but miraculously, she remained firmly planted in her seat, the seatbelt and airbag working in tandem to keep her secure. As the dust settled, Lauren emerged shaken but unscathed, save for some muscle soreness and stiffness.
“I literally can’t thank my Subaru enough for taking the hit so well,” Lauren exclaimed. “I truly think if I had been in a different car – or I hadn’t swerved when I did, this would be a completely different story and outcome.”
In the aftermath, Lauren and her husband visited the towing company to retrieve her belongings and assess the damage. What they witnessed was a testament to the Crosstrek’s superior engineering and build quality.
“The exterior and frame of the car took all the damage with minimal to no internal damage,” Lauren marveled. “Additionally, none of my windows shattered. This is such a testament to the quality of the build of the Crosstrek.”

While Lauren’s beloved Crosstrek was deemed a total loss, her unwavering faith in the brand remained steadfast. “It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” she affirmed, her gratitude palpable.
As she looks ahead to her next vehicle purchase, Lauren’s choice is clear: “As soon as I’m able, I will immediately be looking at another Subaru Crosstrek.”
