The lower portion where the buckle is hit a bit harder and bruised her liver. Took a few weeks to heal but that car did what it supposed to do.

Pretty sure it was stolen truck. He lost the front left wheel but still managed to drive a black and was picked up by someone else. Witness got a plate number of the get away car. Owner of the truck claimed it was stolen. So we will probably get hosed by the insurance. Oh well.

Bent rear axle, rear doors will not close so frame damage. Both C-pillars are creased. Head restraint blew like it was supposed to. Seat belt tensioner went off (wont retract). Minor front damage and I guess that is why the air bags did not deploy. She hit the car in front of her and from the dash cam I was expecting more damage. Also looked like the driver seat got tweaked a bit but its hard to tell.

Car did what it was supposed to do. It sacrificed it's life to save Ms Mash. So, good job. Not thrilled about the rat phking im going to get from insurance or the second rat phking I expect to get from having to buy a new car, especially in this market but I have little control over it so I'll do the best I can. I will probably contact a lawyer to see if it is even worth perusing but if the car was stolen and the person who stole it is uninsured (would being insured even cover a stolen vehicle?) there is nothing in it for the lawyer. Odds are someone who steals a vehicle is poor to begin with so you cant get blood out of a rock.

Started looking for a replacement car.....geez the prices are high.

Does anyone know how to post pics from Google Photo on here. The link it gave be did not work. I had to post these to FB and then link it from there to here.
I'm glad your wife is o.k.
