Wife had an accident with the RX
Nobody was hurt. She was making a left turn into a main road when she t-bone the car on the main road. I suppose that is her fault. Coming from a full stop and crossing the street to hit the other car, she must be going no more than 5-8 mph. But here is the damage to the RX. All in front: bumper fell off, grille fell off, windshield washer can broke, both headlights gone, maybe radiator is damage, hood bent. I assumed most of the stuff within a foot in front of the car is damaged. I initially thought the car is totaled but they will repair it.

Good thing that no one was hurt.
Were the airbags deployed? that's a good gauge on how severe the impact was.
Not to be the devil's advocate here, but be prepared for some legal action from the other driver.
Let's hope not. a good communication between affected parties tend to keep the ambulance chasers out of the party.
but, hey that's why we have insurance.

Sorry to hear and happy no one was hurt. My F-Sport was recently backed into and damaged at the side rear and repaired last week. Hopefully your RX will be good as new in no time.

Glad nobody was hurt.
Be sure the shop matches the paint properly. My old 2010 ES was Truffle Mica and they had a hell of a time matching the bumper when I had it repainted. Lots of different colored flake...

Thank goodness nobody was hurt. I did ask my wife to make sure she does not have a headache and not to sleep or take a nap for a while. So far she is okay. The police offered to call an ambulance but everybody declined.
Thanks for the replies.
