Default Just got into an accident

Hey friends. On my way home, a driver in a newer Toyota 4 Runner turned into me as I was driving. As a result we got into an accident. Everything happened so fast and all airbags deployed. I'm alright. My wife came to get me then I took at my valuables out. I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow morning because I know I'm gonna feel it in the morning.

This isnt the best pic since it just occued at night.

Sorry to hear it. Looks like it was a bad hit. Glad you are ok. Good idea to get checked out by a doc.

Yeah. I believe the at fault party will declare it a total loss. It sucks and I really liked my car but it can be replaced.

Sorry to hear man. As everyone already stated, your safety is the most important thing as the car can be replaced but not your life. Hopefully you didn’t sustain any real injuries. Keep us updated.

Glad you're ok. Looks like you'll be shopping for a new car, I would be very surprised if they chose to repair that.

WOW dude, that Runner smoked you! Glad no one was hurt...a testament to the safety of both vehicles.
While it sucks to lose the car, i'd rather have it totaled than drive around with something that has 10's of thousands of dollars of repairs on it.
Likely it will be a write-off, and you can't change that, here's a chance to snag another IS and start the journey all over again. Maybe even a new(er) IS!

Yeah, Toyota make excellent quality and safe vehicles. I'm glad for the engineering and safety measurements that prevented a more likely worse outcome.
