if airbags are good, most likely they wont total it. remember the damages have to be 75% value of the vehicle for ins to total it. it looks like about 5000 max to fit it, so u do the math.

Looks bad...it's going to be totaled.

Aside from the obvious replacement parts you have to consider the front frame rails, radiator support, engine, etc...

Thank your stars that you and everyone involved in the crash are ok.
if you came into street a little further it would have been worse...
on my opinion car is totaled though , insurance will do the rest.
Just curious though, what was the condition of her car after the accident?
