Brand New 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Crashed Only A Week After Delivery

The first examples of the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series have just been delivered to their owners and one of them has already been involved in an accident that allegedly happened in Russia. While this is not the first wrecked new-generation Land Cruiser we have come across – this title goes to the several models destroyed a few weeks ago while still in transport – it is probably the first one in public roads.

The pictures provided to us by Instagram user @lc300.qa show that the white Land Cruiser collided with a gray Toyota Camry. The SUV has serious damage on the front bumper and the front-left wing, while the sedan was hit on the right side towards the front. Airbags were deployed in both cars and thankfully both drivers were unharmed.

The second angle leads us to believe that the accident was probably a head-to-side collision between the cars. The sheer mass of the Land Cruiser and the angle of the crash, caused the Camry to rotate by 180 degrees and destroyed the front right suspension. We don’t have more information on the circumstances so it is no clear who was at fault but the road seems pretty wide.

Judging from the front bumper, the Land Cruiser is in base spec – the LX and the GR Sport models have a different design. Besides the replacement of body parts, the Land Cruiser will probably need extra work in the engine and on the front axle before getting back on the road. Considering that the bumpers were deployed, the repair is definitely going to be costly so we hope the insurance is covering it.

It is unfortunate that the driver didn’t have much time to enjoy it before the crash occurred but it is more important that there were no injuries. According to the post, the car was delivered only a week ago and the owner is Russian.
