And this is the car...

[wraithfodder]

That caused me to get rear-ended. I still don't know what happened - there were no skid marks that any of us could see. Anyway, this hybrid slammed fast and hard into an SUV, which was then propelled into the rear of my car. All in all, I was the luckiest. The hybrid is toast, and honestly, with the front and rear damage to the SUV, they might total it. I still have to deal with insurance and auto body shops to determine the extent of damage to my Civic. Wreckage from the hybrid was scattered across both lanes and into people's yards and driveways.

Wow, that person was definitely not paying attention. How are you feeling hon?

At least you were in the front, everyone behind you gets the blame but the last guy really gets it all. Hope he has good insurance.

Oh my word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever happened to the driver of this car? I mean given the
condition of front end and your statement that the wreckage
was scattered so far.
You are absolutely right about the SUV, they will write it off
as a total..........when there is rear and front end damage.
Have you gotten any estimates yet?
Also, have you a rental part of your insurance?
Try Enterprise if you are in need? They often have a
deal, at least they did with State Farm who handled my claim.
In fact State Farm said they were their #1 preference.
They will pick you up at the body shop, and then you drop
it off when you pick up your car later. No muss, no fuss.

He/she must have been going pretty fast (40mph?) to have that happen. Yikes. Glad you're OK. Someone smashed into a car right out in front of our house about a month ago. Car looked just like this did. Not paying attention from what I had heard. Hope you get your car back sooner than later.

Wow that's a hell of a whack! Glad you're okay. I work in motor insurance claims and don't often see them this badly damaged O_O

Money is money, I know, but imagine what worse could have happened!

Good grief! You're lucky you had an SUV between yourself and this hybrid. Sounds like the hybrid driver took their eyes off the road. We all do it and we know we shouldn't (reaching for something, telling the kids to knock it off, drinking a cup of coffee, the phone). I drive, a lot, about a 1000 mile a month, this pic is a good reminder to pay attention and remember that you never know what the other guy is going to do. Glad you're okay.

Just... wow. Same happened to me years ago, expect we were where the SUV was (car was totalled). The person that hit us didn't brake either, complete idiot.

Glad you're ok, hope the damage to the car isn't too bad. *hugs*

Glad you are okay.

Fool was probably trying to text or read one.

Hoping for the best possible for you.
