Bengt Dalemar — Volvo Believer for Life

 

Growing up a 10-minute walk from the Volvo factory in Gothenburg, Sweden, Bengt Dalemar is more than familiar with the Volvo brand. It wasn’t until he survived a tractor-trailer collision the morning of March 6, 2025, however, that he learned how remarkably safe his Volvo S60 sedan was built.

At 6:30 AM, during one of his work commutes, Dalemar was driving on US-30 East in York, Pennsylvania. Traffic was slowing down, however, the tractor trailer behind him showed no signs of stopping. In a matter of seconds, the trailer crashed into him, inevitably causing him to jolt forward and hit the pickup truck in front of him.

After the impact, he quickly escaped the vehicle from his passenger-side door, as the driver's side had become largely deformed. Dalemar was placed in a neck brace once the paramedics arrived at the scene, but thankfully, he sustained little to no injuries due to his vehicle taking in the bulk of the impact.

When asked to comment on the incident, Dalemar says, “The only reason why I'm alive is because I was in a Volvo. Any other vehicle would have been totally destroyed.”

Immediately following the traumatic accident, Dalemar headed directly to his long-time Volvo dealership, Lehman Volvo Cars of York, in search of a new Volvo S60 sedan to replace the one that had just protected him. Having been his trusted friend and Volvo sales consultant for 14 years, Bob Baker ensured that he left the lot in a brand-new 2024 Volvo S60 Plug-In Hybrid.

A reliable vehicle with safety, elegance, range, and space is a must for someone on the road. The Volvo S60 Plug-In Hybrid lives up to those qualities, and on the morning of March 6, 2025, Bengt Dalemar became a Volvo Believer for life.
