Lets see what your insurance says. Glad to see that you were able to walk away from the accident.

Glad to hear you're alright.

Unfortunately, the car most likely will be totaled with that amount of frame damage. It'll never be the same.

One day her head is going to cut of like the Corvett guy. Texting while driving and crash into back of the truck. I mean if I really need to texting while driving, I would of press one letter at a time but not in the intersection at all! Sigh... Do people really get discipline only from experience?

It looks like more damage than 6K. Some insurance policies are using used oem parts from junk yards. I think it can be fixed though and the damage has to be a certain percentage of the value of the car. Good luck.
