As of three weeks ago today my car has been officially totaled. Unfortunately I was on my way to class after work there was a lot of traffic and I was in the second lane going straight. Since there was a lot of traffic the lane next to me the third was blocking the intersection and a car from the opposite side did not see me while I was going straight and made a turn in between two cars and hit me.

That completely sucks. From the looks of it, the airbags didn't deploy. Were there some frame damage that caused the car to be totaled?

The shop actually told me the airbag was suppose to deploy but it didnt because the sensor was all smashed up .... suspicious as to why it didnt, and the ecu was damaged.

Very sorry to see this but glad you appear to be okay.

Too soon to ask what will replace it?
