    looks like the wagon didn't much mind getting t-boned, but why would the offending delivery truck jump up in the air enough to land on the Willys ??? very curious.

    As a long time accident investigator for the Arizona Highway Patrol/Arizona Department of Public Safety, I can tell you that the dynamics of a collision will cause one or both vehicles to rise into the air enough to land on top of another vehicle. Very common, regardless of the size and weight of the vehicle that lands on top. Even a single vehicle accident will result in the vehicle landing up on a power pole, tree or a wall.
