The armored G-Wagon recently made headlines again, this time likely saving the lives of three Canadian soldiers and one journalist.

The incident occurred in Afghanistan, where the soldier's G-Wagon struck what military officials believe to be an "improvised explosive device."

The G-Wagon, which is fitted with armored plating and thick shock-resistant windows, suffered major damage to the front end; however, the windows and entire passenger compartment remained intact.

Thankfully, the soldiers suffered relatively minor injuries - one suffered a broken leg and another suffered a broken ankle and foot. The third soldier and journalist both walked away from the incident without any major injuries.

Tim Albone, the journalist that was on board when the explosion occurred, said he believes the armor of the G-Wagon prevented even worse injuries to himself and the soldiers, and told CBC Newsworld: "I’m convinced that is what, and in fact that is what the soldiers say, saved our lives."
